Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a bowl, toss chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk egg, white sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
Fold in ¾ of the apple mixture. Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Scatter remaining apples over top.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and internal temp is 200°F (93°C).
Let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for a tender texture.

Let bread fully cool before glazing to avoid melting the icing.

For crunch, sprinkle turbinado sugar over the apple topping before baking.

A mix of tart and sweet apples adds great flavor depth.
