Makes 1 loaf, 6 to 8 servings
Instructions
 Squeeze the excess juice from the grated apple.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan, knock off excess flour. |
 Whisk together the sugar and oil until blended, then add the eggs, one at a one. |
 Add the pumpkin puree. |
 Add the grated apple and mix to combine. |
 In another bowl, stir together the flours, walnuts, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda. |
 Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined.
Let batter rest for 15 to 20 minutes (we omitted this step). |
 Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake until the loaf is dark and a tester inserted deep into the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. |
 Transfer to a cooling rack and cool in pan for ten minutes, then onto rack to cool completely. |
