Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Can use dairy-free alternative for vegan option.
  • 1 cup chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Ensure apples are peeled and chopped into small pieces.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the dry mixture. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

For lighter bread, substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Watch baking time carefully, covering with aluminum foil if browning too quickly. Make sure ingredients are at room temperature for better blending.
