Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced apple, raisins, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at the 55-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
