Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil. Stir until well blended.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
