Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8"x4" non-stick loaf pan. If desired, cut a sheet of parchment to fit both the bottom and sides of the loaf pan, allowing for a 2-inch overhang on either side. That extra paper allows the loaf to be lifted out of the pan once it's finished baking.
In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. Allow the fruit to macerate for 15 minutes. In another medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.
In another large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and butter until light. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in milk and vanilla. Finally, stir in flour mixture until just combined.
Pour half of the mixture into the loaf pan. Then, add in half of the apple mixture. Using a table knife, swirl the apples around the loaf in a serpentine pattern.
Bake for a full hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in a pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan once it has cooled completely. Drizzle with sour cream glaze before slicing and serving.
