Description
A quick bread that tastes like fried apple fritters without the oil, packed with chunks of fresh apples and swirled with cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, heaping
- 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
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare your loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss to coat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in ¾ of the apple mixture into the batter, leaving some aside for topping.
- Pour batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved apple mixture on top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled bread before serving.
