5. Add sour cream and dry ingredients: Mix in sour cream, then gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

6. Fold in apples: Gently fold in the diced apples.

7. Pour into pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

8. Add topping (optional): Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top of the batter.

9. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

10. Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
