Directions

Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter & Sugar:

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk until fully combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Fold in Apples & Pecans:

Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans until evenly distributed in the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the brown sugar on top.

Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
