Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using).
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the brown sugar on top.

- Once done, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use store-bought apples for convenience, but fresh-picked apples yield the best flavor. Cover leftovers tightly in plastic wrap to keep fresh, or freeze for up to three months.
