Ingredients
  

For apples/topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted (salted or unsalted is fine)

For apple bread

  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped apples peeled & cored (about 2 apples) (215 g)
  • 2 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (290 g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed (100 g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted (113 g)
  • ¾ cup sour cream (170 g)
  • ¼ cup whole milk (60 ml)
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9×5” bread pan with a sling of parchment paper (or lightly spray with baking spray).
  • Whisk together granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Set aside. Pour apples in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 ½ Tablespoons of the cinnamon/sugar mixture (save the remaining cinnamon/sugar for later). Stir together apples and cinnamon/sugar and set aside. You will not need the 2 Tbsp of butter yet, but should have it ready.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown and granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together ½ cup melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold together until mostly combined.
  • Add apples and stir until completely combined (don’t over-mix).
  • Pour batter into bread pan.
  • Melt 2 Tablespoons butter and drizzle evenly over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture from earlier.
  • Place pan with apple bread on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet (in case any butter spills this will keep you from having a smoky mess in your oven) and transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow to cool in bread pan for at least an hour before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to slice and enjoy!
