Equipment

9x5 inch Loaf Pan, Stand Mixer/Electric Mixer, Mixing bowl, Medium bowl, Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 stick 8 tbsp Unsalted Softened Butter - at room temp
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream - regular sour cream at room temp
  • 2 Eggs - Large at room temp
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon - ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Diced Red Apple - small dice - I used Fuji Apple

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with baking spray or grease it with a little butter. Combine dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl start by combining flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon by whisking together gently until combined. Set aside.
    1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 3/4 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • In the electric mixer or stand mixer, combine butter and sugar together by beating on medium speed for 3 or 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Next, crack your eggs open into a separate little bowl and add them in one at a time along with the vanilla.
    3/4 cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar, 1 stick 8 tbsp Unsalted Softened Butter, 2 Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Finish beating the eggs into the batter and then reduce the speed to low. Now grab the bowl with your combined dry ingredients (flour/baking soda/salt/cinnamon) and with the speed still on low, add it in a little at a time until combined.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and scoop in your sour cream, and pour in the cup of small diced fresh red apple. Finishing up by stirring these in with a spatula by hand until just combined.
    1/2 cup Sour Cream, 1 cup Diced Red Apple
  • Transfer the batter to your greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake in a 350F degree oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • When bake time is up, remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. When bread is completely cooled, wrap remaining bread firmly with plastic wrap and finish within a week.
