Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set
aside.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, beginning
and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples gently.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Prepare the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk if it’s too thick or more powdered sugar if it’s
too thin.
Step 7: Glaze the Bread
Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
Tips for Success
Use Fresh Apples: Fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best for this recipe.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room
temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a denser bread. Mix just until the ingredients are
combined.
Variations
Add Nuts: Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for an extra layer of warmth.
Storage
Room Temperature: Store the glazed apple cinnamon bread in an airtight container at room
temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate: For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before
serving.
Freeze: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
