  • Whisk the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and mix until combined. Then add applesauce and vanilla.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on low, then stir in the milk until just combined.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, add the apple mixture on top, then add the remaining batter and swirl with a knife.
