Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
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.
Slice and serve as desired. This bread is delicious on its own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
