Scale

- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and the diced apples gently.
- If using nuts or dried fruit, carefully add those into the mix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once done, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
