Description
A cozy and comforting bread that combines the flavors of apple fritters with the ease of quick bread, perfect for using up sourdough discard.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard, stirred
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar (brown or white)
- 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil
- 1/3 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 apples, peeled and diced small
- For the cinnamon apple swirl:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Prep your pan and oven. Heat your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard loaf pan and line it with parchment if desired.
- Mix the dry stuff. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix the wet stuff. In a second bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth. Stir in melted butter, milk, vanilla, and sourdough discard.
- Combine gently. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until there are no big streaks of flour.
- Fold in the apples. If your apples are very juicy, pat them lightly with a paper towel first.
- Make the swirl mixture. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
- Layer and swirl. Pour half the batter into the pan, sprinkle half the swirl mixture, add the rest of the batter, then top with the remaining swirl mixture. Use a butter knife to create swirls.
- Bake. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes. Check at 50 minutes with a toothpick.
- Cool before slicing. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
For a sweeter touch, drizzle a quick glaze of powdered sugar with a splash of milk on top after cooling.
