Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups apple (peeled, cored, and shredded)
- 1 cup Swiss cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to a dense loaf.
Gently fold in the shredded apple, Swiss cheese, and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf 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 and serving.
