Apple Snickerdoodle Bread is perfect for the fall! Snickerdoodles are always a fan favorite, but adding a little apple really bumps up the flavor! I made a large loaf and 4 muffins and I ate the muffins while they were still piping hot… so good!
The Story:
Can I add “apple picking” to my bucket list? I want to be totally cliche, out in a field on a ladder wearing flannel filling up a wooden basket with apples. It sounds so perfect–so fall.
oh, oh! And then I can go home and make apple bread and apple pie and apple everything.

Apple Snickerdoodle Bread
Ingredients
- 3 C. all purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 C. butter softened
- 2 C. sugar
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2/3 C. sour cream
- 2 apples peeled and shredded
- Cinnamon-Sugar for topping
Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease loaf pans. (You can do mini loaves, muffins, or large loaf pans.)
-
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together.
-
3. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix after each addition. Add vanilla, sour cream and shredded apples.
-
4. Add dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over the top.
-
5. Bake until an inserted knife comes out clean. 17-20 minutes for muffins, 20-25 minutes for mini loaves, and 60-70 minutes for a large loaf. For the large loaf, you may need to cover the top with foil after 40 minutes so the top doesn't get too brown.
-
6. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
I’ll be making this again for sure! But I think I want to try just doing a big batch of muffins, the 4 I baked with the bread were just so perfect and great for a party! Mmm… I’m really craving these now.
Silly question, but how many mini loaves does this make? I am also assuming we sprinkle the cinnamon over the batter when its in the pans? Looks so good going to get ingredients on my way home from work 🙂
Liz: Two teaspoons cinnamon go into the batter. A cinnamon-sugar mixture is sprinkled over raw batter, once it’s in the pans. Lizzy may need to help you on the # of mini loaves yielded. I have usually gotten at least 3 mini loaves out of the same quantity of batter for a 9×5 loaf pan. Hope this helps.
Thanks Pat 🙂
This bread sounds wonderful. I can’t wait to get my apples grated. Thanks for sharing.

This bread sounds amazing. Perfect fall baking!
Just wondering how many cups of apples this would require? I have a bunch frozen that I would like to use. Thanks!
It’s just a little over 1 cup shredded!
Hey Lizzy can I substitute greek yogurt for the sour cream? Thanks, this bread sounds delicious! 🙂
ALWAYS!
