Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
- 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture gradually, folding gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chopped apples evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, slice, and serve warm with butter or honey.
Notes
- Use tart or sweet apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for varied flavors.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend.
- Add nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans) or raisins for extra texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 1 week. Freeze slices for longer storage.
