Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, then add eggs, buttermilk, sour cream, and diced apples.
  4. Combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just incorporated.
  5. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing nuts, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  6. Pour batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with the topping, and swirl gently for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 60 minutes, testing doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
