Ingredients

Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, heaping spoonfuls
  • 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

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apples: Peel and chop the baking apples into small pieces to ensure they incorporate evenly into the batter and soften during baking.
  2. Mix Apples with Sugar and Spices: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Toss together thoroughly, allowing the spices and sugar to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  5. Make the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then fold in the spiced apple mixture until evenly incorporated.
  6. Prepare to Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown on top.
  8. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  9. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture and flavor.
  • Room temperature ingredients help create a smooth batter and tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
