Apple Cinnamon bread

Apple Bread

Ingredients
* 1 large apple peeled and cored (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
* 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
* ½ cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling (100g)
* ½ cup packed light brown sugar (110g)
* ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ¼ teaspoon baking powder
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
* 2 large eggs beaten
* ½ cup unsalted butter melted (120ml)
* ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional (60g)

Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper allowing excess to hang over the sides of the pan.
* Using the largest holes on a cheese grater, grate the apple. Set aside.
* In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in the eggs and melted butter until fully combined. (Batter will be thick.)
* Stir the apple and nuts (if using) into the batter until evenly combined. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar, if desired.
* Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool for about 30 minutes more. Slice and serve warm
