Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, heaping spoonfuls
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dried and wet ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and chopped baking apples with light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger, ensuring the spices evenly coat the apple pieces. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  2. Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to ensure even distribution and lightness in the bread batter.
  3. Meld wet and dry mixtures. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  4. Incorporate apples into batter. Fold the cinnamon-spiced apple mixture gently into the batter, ensuring apples are evenly distributed throughout without breaking down.
  5. Prepare baking pan and bake. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Make the glaze. While the bread cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  7. Glaze and serve. When the bread is cool enough to handle but still warm, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use baking apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a richer flavor, sour cream can be substituted with Greek yogurt of equal amount.
  • Ensure the egg and sour cream are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.
  • The glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding more or less milk as needed.
  • Store leftover bread tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
