Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened (113 grams)
  • 0.67 cups granulated sugar (135 grams)
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed (50 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups sour cream or Greek yogurt (120 ml)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Apple Mixture
  • 1.5 cups peeled and diced apples (suggested: Granny Smith + Honeycrisp)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for layering)
Glaze
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar (60 grams)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (15-30 ml)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and dice the apples, then toss them with the cinnamon sugar. Set aside.
Mixing
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well, then stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Layering and Baking
  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and layer half of the apple mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples, and gently swirl the layers with a knife.
  2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. After baking, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Glazing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and optional vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and allow it to set before slicing.
