Grease and dust with flour one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Cut butter into
sugar using two knives in a scissors fashion. Add the eggs, one at a
time. Beat using a wooden spoon, after each addition. Blend in the
vanilla, then the sour cream. Sift your dry ingredients together.
Then add the nuts to the dry ingredients. Combine the dry
ingredients into the sour cream mixture. Gently stir in the apples.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
