Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil Can substitute with melted butter, applesauce, or coconut oil.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well-combined.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla to the sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples and nuts if using.
  6. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and pour in the batter, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a fluffier loaf, don’t overmix the dough. You can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a week.
