Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Add the large eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until everything is well blended.

Step 6

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the grated Granny Smith apples and the optional chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the apple bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
