Ingredients
Bread
- 1 & 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 large apples)
Topping
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Then add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk again until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until almost combined. Fold in the apples until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle on top. Using the tip of a small knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
- Bake at 350F for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 30 minutes, then use parchment paper to remove the bread from the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
