Apple Bread

Looking for something to use your fall apple on... Try Apple bread, similar to zucchini bread.  It freezes as well.  I would suggest using a food processor to grate the apple but it can be done with a hand grater, just messier.

1 ½ C flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 beaten egg
1 C sugar
1 ½ C finely shredded, peeled apple
¼ C cooking oil
½ C chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted

1. Grease the bottom and ½ in up sides of an 8x4x2 in loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
2. In another medium bowl combine egg, sugar, apple, and oil. Add apple mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy) fold in nuts. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing. (It tastes just as good if you eat it warm).
