Start by peeling and chopping your baking apples, such as Granny Smith, into small, bite-sized chunks. In a mixing bowl, combine the apple chunks with light brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Allow this mixture to sit for about 15 minutes so the apples release their juices and absorb the spices.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Ensure that these wet ingredients are at room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a spatula to combine.

Fold three-quarters of the spiced apple mixture into the batter, ensuring even distribution. Pour the combined batter into a greased loaf pan, then sprinkle the remaining apple mixture on top.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

While the bread cools, prepare a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and just enough milk to reach your desired consistency. Pour the glaze over the cooled bread.
