Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated fresh apple (about 1 medium apple)
- Optional Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the sour cream and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated apple.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If making the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
- You can make this bread ahead of time; it stores well at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
