Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve plain or with a dollop of butter, and enjoy with a hot cup of tea!
