3. In a large bowl, beat together the sour milk, applesauce, egga and vanilla for about 1 minute or until well combined.
4. Combine the rest of the ingredients in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or the bread will be tough and heavy.
5. Spoon half of the batter into the pan. Top with half of the cinnamon swirl mixture and swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter using the tip of a knife.
6. Top with the remaining batter and the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Once again swirl with tip of knife.
