Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it over the batter.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy the warm flavors of apple pie in every bite!
Notes
- Cover the bread loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This bread can be frozen for up to 3 months; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
