Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and add the shredded zucchini.
Gently stir or whisk until just combined; avoid overmixing. Toss the chopped apples with 1 Tablespoon of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, then fold them into the batter with a silicone spatula.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes. After 30 minutes, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent browning.
The bread is ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and set the pan on a cooling rack for an hour before removing the bread to cool completely on the rack. For neat slices, cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using different types of apples based on your preference.
Make sure to measure the flour correctly for the best texture in the bread.
This bread can be stored at room temperature for several days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
