Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a healthier version, you can reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and use whole wheat flour.
Ensure your apples are chopped into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.
This bread freezes well. Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
