Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and spread it evenly. Top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
