Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed through the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage. Serve warm with butter.
