- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For added sweetness, prepare a simple glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with a couple of tablespoons of milk, and drizzle it over the cooled bread.
