How To Make apple cinnamon bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, add the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well before adding lemon juice. Stir the ingredients until the apples are completely coated with sugar; set aside.
  • Step 3
    In another bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and salt; whisk and set aside.
  • Step 4
    In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and granulated sugar. Using the paddle attachment, process on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Clean the sides and the bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Step 5
    Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
  • Step 6
    Add sour cream and vanilla extract; process until blended, about 45 seconds.
  • Step 7
    Add half the dry ingredients and half the milk; process on low speed until just combined before adding the remaining dry ingredients and milk, cleaning the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Step 8
    Spread 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon 3/4 of the apple mixture on top. Add another 1/3 of the batter and the remaining apple mixture, including any accumulated juices. Add the remaining 1/3 batter.
  • Step 9
    In a bowl, mix all the streusel ingredients until crumbly; set aside.
  • Step 10
    Evenly sprinkle the streusel on top of the bread.
  • Step 11
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs. If the top is getting too dark while baking, cover loosely with foil.
  • Step 12
    Remove from the heat and transfer the loaf pan to a wire rack; cool completely.
  • Step 13
    Cover and store bread at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
