The Apple and Walnut Loaf is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of apples and the crunch of walnuts to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack, this loaf is not only delicious but also relatively easy to make. Follow the steps and tips below to bake a moist and flavorful loaf that will impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
2 apples
320g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 dash salt
1g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/3 cup walnuts
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with a bit of butter to ensure the loaf doesn't stick.
2. Prepare Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.
3. Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs:
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Apples:
Stir the diced apples into the mixture. Make sure they are evenly distributed.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar-egg-apple mixture, alternating with the milk. Start with the dry ingredients, then add a bit of milk, and repeat until everything is combined. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
7. Add Walnuts:
Fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Transfer to Loaf Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
10. Cool:
Once done baking, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
Slice and serve your delicious apple and walnut loaf. Enjoy!

Tips:

- For an extra touch of flavor, consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter.

- Grate the apples instead of chopping them to ensure an even distribution throughout the loaf.

- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to avoid a lumpy batter.

- Using a toothpick, check the center of the loaf for doneness. It should come out clean or with only a few crumbs attached.

Once your Apple and Walnut Loaf has baked to golden perfection, allow it to cool before slicing. This will help the loaf to firm up and make it easier to cut. Enjoy your homemade loaf with a spread of butter or a dollop of your favorite jam. Happy baking!
