1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper .

2. Stage

Prepare the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients to form a crumbly mixture. Add pecans, if using. Set aside.

3. Stage

Make the batter: In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour with the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, 1/3 cup melted butter, milk, and vanilla until well combined. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, using a rubber spatula to gently fold together until combined.

4. Stage

Add the apples: In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until fully coated. Gently fold into the bread batter.

5. Stage

Assemble and bake: Transfer half the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth to make level. Top with half of the streusel. Add the remaining batter, smooth with a rubber spatula, then top with the remaining streusel. Drizzle the top with the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake until a toothpick inserted deep into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes. Place on a cooling rack and let sit for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan. Cool before glazing and serving.

6. Stage

Glaze: In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth. It should be the consistency of heavy whipping cream. Drizzle over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve. Love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
