Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

Step 4

Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as desired. This bread is delicious on its own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
