Toss apple in the cinnamon until well coated. Set aside. Drain raisins.

In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, flour and baking powder and combine. Fold in the raisins.

Spoon half the mix into loaf tin and spread flat. Top with the apple. Spoon the remaining mix on top. Finish with oat crumble.

Bake for 30–40 mins or until a skewer comes out of the middle clean. Allow to cool completely before removing from the tin.
