Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.75 cups Walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cups Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir the milk into the batter to thin it slightly. Then gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly 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 loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of the apple walnut bread as is, or with a spread of butter for added richness. Enjoy!
