Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan; optionally line with parchment paper.
Toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Cream granulated sugar and butter until smooth in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, spoon half the apple mixture on top. Repeat with remaining batter and apples.
Use a knife to gently swirl the apple mixture through the batter creating a marbled effect.
Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk sour cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar for the glaze; add milk if needed to thin. Drizzle over cooled loaf.

Notes

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Swap tart apples for sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a milder flavor.
Skip glaze for a lighter bread or dust with powdered sugar instead.
Use parchment paper for easy removal from pan.
