Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Peel, core, and chop the apples, then sauté them in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.
