Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (divided)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for apples)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream (or yogurt) and vanilla extract until just combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. In a separate small bowl, toss the diced apples with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
7. Gently fold the cinnamon-sugar coated apples into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
