Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, dark rum, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
