1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
3-4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or two loaf pans.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients and Sour Cream: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
