• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup (optional) chopped walnuts or pecans

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 mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the Spiced Apple Loaf as is, or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
