Ingredients
Scale
Apple Mixture
- 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Batter
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a bowl, combine peeled and chopped apples with light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Toss well so the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spices. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Fold in the apple mixture carefully, ensuring even distribution without breaking up the apples too much.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the bread is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding more milk or powdered sugar.
- Cool and Glaze: Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack. When the bread is completely cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top evenly.
