Ingredients

• Nonstick spray
• ³⁄₄ cup GF all-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup white sugar
• ¹⁄₈ cup brown sugar
• ¹⁄₄ tsp baking soda
• ¹⁄₄ tsp salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup olive oil
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Zest of ¹⁄₂ orange
• ¹⁄₂ tsp orange extract
• 2 red apples, grated with skin
• ¹⁄₂ chopped walnuts
• ¹⁄₂ cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tbsp orange juice

Prep

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, sugars, baking soda, salt) until combined.
3. In a medium bowl, mix wet ingredients (oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest and extract) together. Mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in the large bowl until well combined. Add in apples and walnuts and mix by hand.
4. Pour mixture into pan evenly. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into loaf comes out clean.
5. While loaf is baking, prepare glaze by mixing both confectioner’s sugar and orange juice together. If glaze is too thick, add more orange juice by the teaspoon.
6. Let loaf cool completely on a wire rack before adding glaze, allowing it to drip down the sides of the loaf.
