Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line with parchment. - Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. - Cream butter + sugar:
In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. - Combine:
Mix in the sour cream, then gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the diced apples. - Layer + swirl:
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar. Use a knife to gently swirl. - Bake:
Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes before removing.
