Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Apple Mixture

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (to toss with apples)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (to toss with apples)

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl & Glaze

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to coat evenly and infuse extra flavor.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon until well blended to ensure even rising and spice distribution.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined creating a creamy batter base.
  4. Stir Wet and Dry Mixtures Together: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Fold in Apples and Add Cinnamon Sugar Swirls: Carefully fold the cinnamon-coated apple pieces into the batter. Pour half the batter into a prepared loaf pan, sprinkle generously with a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, then add the remaining batter. Top with a final layer of the cinnamon sugar to create swirls throughout the bread.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Once warm, drizzle with a simple glaze made by mixing powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth, enhancing the classic apple fritter finish.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best balance of sweetness and tang.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Layer the cinnamon sugar swirl generously to achieve that signature flavor in every slice.
  • Start checking for doneness around 50 minutes as ovens can vary.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully for easier slicing and better flavor development.
