Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Cream shortening and gradually add sugar. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until fluffy. Add milk, apples and nuts.

Stir in sifted dry ingredients until blended. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for 1 hour. Cool.
