1. Preheat the oven: ๐Ÿ”ฅ Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9ร—5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. This ensures your Harvest Apple Bread will come out of the pan easily once baked. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

5. Fold in the apples: ๐Ÿ Gently fold in the chopped apples (and walnuts, if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The apples will add moisture and a delightful sweetness to the bread. ๐Ÿฅ„

6. Bake the bread: ๐Ÿž Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the bread will smell amazing! ๐Ÿ•’

7. Make the glaze: ๐Ÿฉ While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. This glaze will add a sweet finishing touch to your apple bread. ๐Ÿง

8. Cool and glaze the bread: ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and allow it to set before slicing. Enjoy! ๐Ÿฅฐ
