Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice and enjoy your cozy autumn apple bread with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
Feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste. Happy baking!
