Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Apples Substitution: Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar Substitution: Light brown sugar can be used, but it will be slightly less flavorful.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar This is essential for the sweetness of the loaf.
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon Substitution: Pumpkin pie spice may be used for a different flavor profile.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness.
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • 2 cups Flour Substitution: Gluten-free flour can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Check expiration date for effectiveness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Do not omit, as it enhances the sweetness of other ingredients.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Substitution: Milk can be replaced with almond milk for dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Substitution: Greek yogurt can be an alternative for a lighter option.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar This is optional but recommended for the authentic apple fritter experience.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla extract is preferable to imitation for best results.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and dice your apples into small cubes, combine with dark brown sugar and cinnamon, and drizzle with melted butter.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix milk and sour cream until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk-sour cream mixture to the creamed butter mixture.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, layer with apple filling, then repeat with remaining batter and filling.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes, checking for doneness at 45 minutes. The bread is ready when golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
