Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
-
Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Peel, core, and chop the apple into ½-inch cubes. Reserve a small handful of apple pieces for topping, then fold the rest into the batter.
-
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
-
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
-
Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out evenly. Scatter the reserved apple pieces over the batter, then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Swirl again with the knife.
-
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for 10–20 minutes.
-
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking the sifted icing sugar with hot water until you reach a smooth, drizzling consistency.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the loaf and let it set for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
