¼ c brown sugar
1 tbsp butter
Directions:
For the Bread:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Coat the inside of a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter and sprinkle flour in it.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
In another mixing bowl, add the apples, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, walnuts, and apple pie spice. Toss the apples to coat.
Add butter and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat for about a minute until well blended.
Gradually add the eggs and beat every addition until well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
In a mixing bowl, add baking soda, flour, and baking powder. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
Transfer the flour mixture together with the sour cream into the bowl of the stand mixer. Beat until well combined.
Transfer 1/2 of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Add 1/2 of the apple mixture over the batter and gently press it towards the batter.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the sugar mixture over the apple mixture layer. Repeat the process with the rest of the ingredients until everything is arranged in layers.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting it in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Remove the bread from the pan.
For the Glaze:
Place a saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add cream, butter, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until well blended. Let the mixture boil.
Remove the pan from the stove, then add the powdered sugar and whisk until well blended. Allow it to cool at room temperature.
