Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (245 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 Tbsp (84 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp (28 g) neutral baking oil
  • 1/2 cup (130 g) apple cider
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg (50 g), at room temperature
  • 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (67 g) dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 1/4 cups (150 g) peeled and finely chopped apple
  • 2 Tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter, melted (for glaze)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp (30 g) milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, oil, apple cider, sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and fold just until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, combine dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir in chopped apples until well coated.
  5. In another small bowl, mix 2 Tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar topping.
  6. Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Layer with half the apple mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and apples, gently pressing the apples into the batter. Tap the pan to reduce air bubbles. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of cinnamon sugar.
  7. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The internal temperature should reach 210°F. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. To make the glaze, whisk melted butter, salt, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
  9. Let glaze set before serving. Store leftovers wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure ingredients like sour cream and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tangy flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure the bread stays moist and tender.
  • The glaze sets better if the bread is fully cooled before drizzling.
