Ingredients:

  • 2 large apples (approx. 300g), peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp (2.6g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2.6g) ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 0.75 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 0.5 cup (120g) Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper with an overhang.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown and granulated sugars. Add eggs one at a time, followed by Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in half of the spiced apple mixture.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining cinnamon apples. Pour the rest of the batter over the apples and use a knife to gently swirl.
  7. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
