🥘Ingredients

For the Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped apples (peeled and diced)

For the Topping

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a muffin tin for individual servings.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and set aside.
5In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6This should take about 2-3 minutes.
7Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
8Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
9The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy.
10Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour disappears.
11Be careful not to overmix.
12Fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
13The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
14Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin tin.
15For a loaf, smooth the top with a spatula.
16If using a muffin tin, fill each cup about 3/4 full.
17Bake in the preheated oven.
18For the loaf, bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
19For muffins, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
20While the bread is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
21Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and brush the melted butter over the top.
22Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered surface.
23Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
24For muffins, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture as soon as they come out of the oven.
25Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
