  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon Brings warmth and nostalgia.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger Adds a delightful zing.
  • 1 large egg At room temperature.
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar Balances the flavors.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil Provides a tender texture.
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream Also at room temperature.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Foundation for the bread.
  • 1 tsp baking soda Leavening agent.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until almost combined.
  5. Fold in three-quarters of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and top with the remaining apple chunks.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Glazing
  1. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  2. Pour the glaze generously over the bread just before serving.

Notes

Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture. For an extra touch, consider mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruits. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better rise.
