Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup buttermilk

2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith for tartness)

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

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

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

          Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

              Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk amount for your desired consistency.

                    Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread for a beautiful finish.
