Apple Sour Cream Loaf & King Arthur Flour Giveaway
Today I am working with my friends at King Arthur Flour to do a fun fall baking giveaway and to talk quick breads. As you know, I am huge fan of quick breads. I love making them for school snack, serving them up on weekend mornings, and taking them to friends just because. What is not to love about a slice of warm bread with a cup of hot tea on a chilly fall day?!
This cozy bread is a current favorite because it is full of ripe apples, a touch of sour cream, and a generous pinch of cinnamon. They are some of our favorite fall flavors, especially to combine with apples. To help you get in the mood for fall baking our friends King Arthur Flour have put together a great baking package for you including:
1 Loaf Pan
1 package of Vietnamese Cinnamon
1 bottle of vanilla
1 coupon for free all-purpose flour
You supply the apples and sour cream and your cake is practically ready!

Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled and shredded, about 1 cup
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9x5 loaf pan.
- 2. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Then beat in the sour cream, the eggs one at a time, and, finally, the vanilla extract. Stir in the apples.
- 3. In a small bowl whisk together the baking soda, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- 4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1hour 10 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched and a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
I love to make banana nut bread recipe that my mom passed down. It has all of the usual goodies, but also features some orange zest and walnuts. It’s my favorite!
Sounds delish with the orange zest. Can you post the recipe please?

I love banana bread all the time!
I love pumpkin, but this year I can’t seem to get enough and have been on a total pumpkin baking/cooking/drinking kick. And yes, my favorite quick bread is PUMPKIN bread. This is the one I’ve made the most this year: http://www.serenitynowblog.com/2012/10/chocolate-and-butterscotch-chip-pumpkin.html
I like KA on FB & I’m a newsletter subscriber.
pumpkin bread made with molasses!
I make Chocolate chip banana bread or zucchini bread this time of year, but this Sour Cream Apple Loaf looks like a winner, too!
My two favorites are banana bread and pumpkin bread, because I couldn’t narrow it down to just one!
My favorite quick bread recipe would be a lemon loaf with a simple glaze.
I like to make Irish soda bread sometimes; it’s very nice with tea.

My favorite is my great grandmother’s pumpkin loaf. The only thing I change is I sometimes use mini chocolate chips instead of regular. They seem to give you more chocolate per bite. Full disclosure, I’m not in Facebook. :-(. Boo.
I make pumpkin bread this time of year. I’ll try this bread next. Thanks.

I think that the recipe above might be my new fall favorite! But I do go through a lot of pumpkin bread in the fall, especially once I can get fresh cranberries cheaply!
zucchini apple bread!
