Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I suggest Saigon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups shredded, peeled apple, use a variety that is good for baking like Granny Smith, Fuji, Jonagolds, Honeycrisp, Braeburn or Winesap
• 1/4 cup Canola oil
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
• apple slices (about 1/4 inch thick), optional, for topping the loaf before baking
• 1 tablespoon Demerara sugar, optional, sprinkled on top before baking

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Using cooking spray, grease a 8 x 4 x 2 inch loaf pan, set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, Kosher salt, baking powder and ground nutmeg, set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, granulated white sugar, peeled and shredded apples and Canola oil. Add the wet mixture to the dry-ingredients mixture. The batter should be lumpy and not over-mixed. If you wish to add the optional nuts, fold in, until mixed. Pour into the greased loaf pan.
5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 50-55 minutes. To test for doneness, using a toothpick or knife, insert and it should come out clean. Cool in the pan, in a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
