Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1/2" cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instruction

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • In bowl of mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs, milk, applesauce and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in the apples and walnuts.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the loaf pan.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, covering with aluminum foil halfway through if bread is browning too quickly. At 60 minutes, start checking to see if bread is done every 5 minutes by inserting a toothpick or cake tester in the center where it comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing and placing on wire rack.
