Ingredients
- 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
- 1 1/2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for the filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Layer: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon filling over it, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon filling.
- Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
