Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a small bowl, toss chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk egg, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until almost combined.
Fold in ¾ of the apple mixture. Pour batter into the pan, then top with remaining apples and gently press in.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and internal temp reaches 200°F (93°C).
Cool loaf in the pan for 30–60 minutes.
Mix glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala for best texture.

Let the loaf cool fully before glazing to avoid melting the icing.

Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans before baking for a crunchy topping.

Store tightly wrapped at room temp or in the fridge.
