Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 1/2 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

          Incorporate Yogurt: Gently fold in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until fully combined.

            Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—not overmixing.

              Add Apples and Nuts: Fold in the diced apples and walnuts gently into the batter.

                Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool the Bread: Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

                      Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides beautifully.

                        Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 15 minutes | 1 hour 10 minutes | Makes 1 loaf (about 8 servings)

                          - Presentation Tips: Slice the bread and serve it on a wooden board with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, alongside a small bowl of extra glaze for dipping. A few apple slices or walnut halves arranged on the side also make for a lovely presentation.
