Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (210 grams)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (140 grams)
  • 2 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon EACH salt, baking soda and baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 cup toasted and chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two small (8x4 inch) loaf pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • In another bowl, thoroughly mix together the dry ingredients (flour through nutmeg). Add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to the sugar mixture.
  • Stir in the pecans and apples.
  • Divide batter between the two pans and bake for about 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove from pan.
