Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 1.5 cups Apples, peeled and diced
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, dark rum, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
