Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9x5” bread pan with a sling of parchment paper (or lightly spray with baking spray).
- Whisk together granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Set aside. Pour apples in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 ½ Tablespoons of the cinnamon/sugar mixture (save the remaining cinnamon/sugar for later). Stir together apples and cinnamon/sugar and set aside. You will not need the 2 Tbsp of butter yet, but should have it ready.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown and granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together ½ cup melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold together until mostly combined.
- Add apples and stir until completely combined (don’t over-mix).
- Pour batter into bread pan.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons butter and drizzle evenly over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture from earlier.
- Place pan with apple bread on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet (in case any butter spills this will keep you from having a smoky mess in your oven) and transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool in bread pan for at least an hour before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to slice and enjoy!

Notes
- I prefer to use firm, tart to somewhat tart apples, Granny Smith and Gala are good choices.
- Wrap bread or place in an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to 5 days.
