# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Fruit Layer

01 - 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
02 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
04 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger

→ Batter

05 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
06 - 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
07 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
09 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
10 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 - 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature

→ Glaze

13 - 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
15 - 3 tablespoons milk

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Toss to coat the apples thoroughly and set aside to allow the flavors to blend.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until the mixture appears smooth. Add vanilla extract and full-fat sour cream; continue to whisk until fully combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Pour half of the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Distribute half of the apple mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter, then top with the rest of the apple mixture, pressing gently into the surface.
05 - Transfer the loaf pan to a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 - While the bread is cooling, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
07 - Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For optimal flavor, use crisp, tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
