Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups grated apples (approximately 2 medium apples)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons melted butter (to grease the pan)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it with melted butter or lining it with parchment paper for easy release.

    Prepare the Apples: Peel and grate the apples using a box grater or food processor. Toss the grated apples in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Set the apples aside while you prepare the batter.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Make sure the ingredients are well blended.

        Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and the sugars are fully incorporated.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if a few lumps remain.

            Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold the grated apples and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

              Pour the Batter into the Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.

                Bake the Loaf: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for approximately 55-65 minutes. The loaf is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

                    Enjoy: Serve your delightful slices as is or with a spread of cream cheese. Enjoy your delicious Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Loaf!
