Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Add the eggs to the wet ingredients one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the grated apple, mashed banana, and grated carrot until evenly distributed.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. If using walnuts, fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
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 before slicing and serving.
