Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fold in apples: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter to evenly distribute them throughout the loaf without breaking them down.
  7. Pour batter and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread moist and tender.
  • You can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • This bread can be stored tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Reheat slices gently in a toaster or microwave for a warm treat.
