Prepare your breadmaker by ensuring the kneading paddle is properly installed.
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet mixture into the breadmaker's pan followed by the dry ingredients, ensuring they are added in layers as per your breadmaker's instructions (typically wet ingredients first, then dry).
Evenly distribute the diced apples and chopped walnuts over the top of the dry ingredients in the breadmaker pan.
Place the pan into the breadmaker and select the 'Quick Bread' or 'Cake' setting. Adjust the crust color and loaf size if applicable to your machine. Close the lid.
Start the breadmaker and allow it to mix, knead, and bake according to the chosen program (approximately 3 hours total).
Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts as it will be hot.
Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for added indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
