Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (such as Granny Smith)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Mix in sour cream.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in diced apples.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over batter. Top with remaining batter, then remaining cinnamon-sugar. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled bread before serving.
