Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Apples, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Turbinado sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 5

Fold in the chopped apples and chopped walnuts (or pecans) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar for an extra crunch.

Step 7

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
