Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
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 flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 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 about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Fresh Apple Spice Bread with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
