Fresh apples + maple syrup + pecans + cinnamon and nutmeg = one delicious bread.
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×5×3-inch loaf pan.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3) In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the grated apples, chopped apples, flax seeds and half of the chopped walnuts. Fold to incorporate thoroughly.
4) Scoop batter into prepared pan and top with granulated sugar, cinnamon and the rest of the walnuts. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
5) Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack to cool before wrapping and storing. Serve slightly toasted with butter.

This was great, thanks for sharing! It’s a nice hearty bread. If you don’t have maple syrup on hand, a mix of brown and white sugar works great (I did 1/4 cup of each ). It doesn’t have the complexity the maple probably would, but it’s still wonderful. I also did a struesel topping for a sweet crunch.

Shehutch: Yes, it would be fine to use all-purpose flour.

I made this *fantastic* bread yesterday, using teff, tapioca starch and potato starch flours, since I am gluten-free. I even had to substitute some buckwheat honey and apple juice for some of the maple syrup, since I ran out, and the result was still amazing! It is so moist, flavorful and delicious! I even added some olive oil, since I made it with almond milk, which isn’t quite as rich as cow’s milk. All these substitutions, and the texture, flavor and appearance is perfecto. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Can I use all all-purpose flour? I don’t have whole wheat.
