Description
A cozy loaf that combines the flavors of apple fritters with the tender texture of sourdough bread, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil or melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups diced apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
- Optional glaze: 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, 1 drop of vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard loaf pan and line it with parchment for easy removal.
- Peel and dice your apples into small pieces.
- Mix the cinnamon sugar for the apple layer.
- Whisk the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in another, then stir together until just combined.
- Fold in part of the apples, then layer the batter and remaining cinnamon apples in the pan.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, about 50-60 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
- Drizzle the glaze on top once it has mostly cooled, if desired.
Notes
Let the loaf cool before slicing for the best texture. Use apples that maintain their shape during baking.
