Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter 1 large loaf pan or 2 smaller ones.

Grate apples directly into the pan. Sift flour, baking soda, ginger, and allspice into the batter. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
