Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together the eggs, sugar, salt, and baking powder until light and fluffy.
- Add flour and milk alternately, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in chopped nuts.
- Pour batter into two well-greased loaf pans.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 1 hour.
- Cool on racks before slicing.
- Can be frozen for later use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter. If you don't have chopped nuts on hand, you can substitute with chocolate chips or dried fruits for a different twist. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter, resulting in a lighter texture.
Serving Suggestions
Miss Apple’s Nut Bread is delightful on its own, but you can enhance its flavors by spreading a bit of cream cheese or butter on top. It pairs beautifully with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat. For a festive touch, serve it alongside Ribbon Salad (Nice For Christmas) to create a well-rounded brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, wrap the nut bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh. It can be stored at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for a week. For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread in an airtight container, allowing you to enjoy it later without losing flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but it may result in a denser loaf. To maintain moisture, consider adding an extra tablespoon of milk or reducing the flour slightly.

To make Miss Apple’s Nut Bread gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
