Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts. The batter will be thick.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crunchy crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Enjoy your moist cinnamon apple quick bread with your favorite coffee, tea, or as a delightful standalone snack!
