- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

- 1 cup Apples (peeled and diced) Preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for sweetness and tartness.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
- Fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, always use room temperature butter and eggs. If the top starts browning too quickly while baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
