Sour Cream Apple Cardamom Quick Bread

Recipe #73286 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

An adopted recipe originally posted by Mean Chef who noted "makes two 9 by 5 inch or 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaves". From the reviews on the recipe I would suggest you use a very fragrant tasty apple, I like Northern Spy.

2 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    Butter and flour two 6- to 8-cup loaf pans and reserve.
  3. 3
    In a mixer, cream together the butter, oil and sugars.
  4. 4
    Add the eggs, vanilla and sour cream.
  5. 5
    Sift together the cardamom, salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour.
  6. 6
    Mix into the creamed ingredients, a little at a time, until incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
  7. 7
    Stir in the walnuts and apple.
  8. 8
    Divide batter between the prepared pans.
  9. 9
    Tap pans on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  10. 10
    Bake for approximately 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in centers comes out clean.
  11. 11
    Rotate pans halfway through baking.
  12. 12
    After 45 minutes, place sheets of foil loosely over loaves to prevent overbrowning.
  13. 13
    (Ovens bake differently, so use your best judgment and a doneness test when gauging cooking time for baked goods.) Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack and turn right-side-up to cool completely.

A very moist and flavorful quick bread! I replaced almost all of the oil with spiced apple butter and my loaves were not crumbly at all. I'll bake this bread again with the following adjustments: Double both baking powder and baking soda to 1 teaspoon each for rounded loaf tops and reduce cardamom to 1 teaspoon for best flavor.

    This bread is extremely moist but I felt the cardamom was overpowering. You couldn't taste the apples at all. I definitely think you should bake them in the smaller loaf pans. I used the 9-inch pans and my loaves were very short. I think smaller higher loaves would have been better.

    I had some trouble with this bread - that is not the reason for the 4 star rating - because I was grating the apples too finely. I appreciated finding out that I should use the larger holes of a box grater, and leave the peel on. After making it that way, I was able to get good loaves. They are moist and the cardamon flavor is very pleasant. But I do think the apple flavor is not very pronounced. This is very probably just me. Thank you for the recipe.

    Delicious! This apple bread is moist and light. It has a delicate and subtle cardamom flavor. Initially when I looked at the ingredients I thought the cardamom would be overwhelmingly strong, but it was perfect. I served it for dessert this afternoon. I left the kichen and when I returned a few minutes later it was gone.... my kids totally devoured it. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks for a great recipe Mean Chef.
