There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh apple bread baking in the oven. This recipe uses Granny Smith apples to keep the flavor bright and tangy, while sour cream ensures every slice stays soft and moist for days.

I love serving this for breakfast or with a cup of coffee in the afternoon. If you want the best texture, make sure to chop your apple pieces small so they distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Ingredients

2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup full fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping

9Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
3
Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then stir until well combined.
4
Gently fold in the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until just mixed.
5
Stir in the diced apples carefully.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
7
Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
8
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

Store your leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also wrap slices individually and freeze them for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
