Ingredients
  

  • 2 apples chopped Granny Smith or Gala
  • 4 T butter
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 white sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 2/3 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup pecans optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. First, pare and chop the apples. I used Gala, but Granny Smith would add some tartness. Set to the side.
  3. Cream the butter, applesauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together. Next, add the eggs and mix in, I used my hand mixer.
  4. Add the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and apples. Mix well, I switched to a rubber scraper at this point to avoid over-stirring.
  5. Create a well in the liquids and add the salt, vanilla, and flour.
  6. Gently stir in until mixed. Do not over-stir.
  7. Pour into a prepared loaf pan. If using pecans sprinkle over the top.
  8. Bake at 350 for 55 -65 minutes. Check with a toothpick at 55 minutes to see if it comes out clean. If it does not keep baking it.
  9. Enjoy!
