Description
A moist, spiced sweet bread with chopped apples, reminiscent of apple fritters. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this easy recipe uses pantry-friendly ingredients and sour cream for a tender crumb. No alcohol or pork products used.
Ingredients
2 large crisp, firm apples
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 heaping teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup plain cultured sour cream (non-animal derived)
2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
Glaze: 1/2 cup sifted confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract, 4 teaspoons milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Core and chop apples into 1/4-inch pieces. Do not peel.
Toss apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl. Let sit 5-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl, mix egg, white sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Fold in spiced apple mixture.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth top.
Bake 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool 10 minutes in pan. Transfer to cooling rack.
For glaze: Mix confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 4 teaspoons milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
Notes
Apple skins add fiber and texture—no need to peel.
Vegetable oil can be substituted with melted coconut oil.
Glaze is optional—bread is flavorful on its own.
