Ingredients

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients — fresh, crisp apples and good-quality spices really lift the flavors. I always pick apples that are firm yet juicy, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, because they hold up beautifully during baking without turning mushy. For the cinnamon, I prefer freshly ground or high-quality ground cinnamon to get that rich, aromatic kick. Keeping your butter and eggs at room temperature also helps the batter come together smoothly, resulting in a tender crumb that feels like a little slice of homemade love.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for moisture and tang)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and creamy — this usually takes about 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
  4. Slowly add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the sour cream or Greek yogurt, which adds moisture and gives the bread a lovely, tender texture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  7. Gently fold in the diced apples (and nuts if using), distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown on top and spring back when lightly pressed.
  10. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set nicely and makes slicing easier.
