Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 3 cups apples, chopped (mix of sweet and tart)
- Optional: 1/2 cup nuts or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil or melted butter, and any additional flavorings such as vanilla.
- Incorporate the apples into the wet mixture, ensuring they are well coated with the liquid elements.
- Add dry to wet: Combine the two mixtures, stirring gently until just blended to avoid overworking the gluten.
- Fold in any optional ingredients like nuts or raisins.
- Transfer to the loaf pan and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Mixing too much can lead to a dense loaf. Enjoy it with butter or whipped cream.
