Instructions

🍏 Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

🧁 Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

🧈 Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla until smooth.

🥣 Step 4: Combine and Fold

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix!). Gently fold in the diced apples.

🍞 Step 5: Pour and Top

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using, mix the streusel topping ingredients together until crumbly and sprinkle over the top.
