There is nothing quite like the smell of apple bread baking in the oven. This recipe uses Granny Smith apples to get that perfect tart flavor that balances so well with the sweet cinnamon sugar coating on top.

The secret to the texture here is the full fat sour cream. It keeps every slice incredibly moist for days, making it the perfect treat to have on your counter for a quick morning snack or a slice with your afternoon coffee.

Ingredients

2 cups diced Granny Smith apples
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup full fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar for topping

8Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla.
5
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then stir in the diced apples.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top.
7
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the bread cool in the pan for ten minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
