Ingredients
Apples Mixture:
2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Batter:
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release.
2. Stir chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside to macerate.
3. Whisk egg, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
5. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until almost combined.
6. Fold in about three quarters of the apple mixture.
7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
8. Spoon remaining apples over the top and lightly press in.
9. Bake 50 to 55 minutes until internal temp reaches 200°F and a tester has a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool in pan 30 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully.
11. Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
12. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread and slice to serve.
Notes
Tart apples like Granny Smith, Empire, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp work best.
Aim for a 200°F internal temperature for a moist crumb.
Adjust glaze by adding more powdered sugar for thickness or milk for thinning.
Bake in a 6-cup bundt, an 8×4-inch loaf, or a 9×5-inch loaf.
Swap the cinnamon sugar apples with a simple streusel if you prefer.
