Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a separate large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir until evenly combined.

Fold in the diced apple and walnuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.

Step 5

Bake on the center oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes, until a tester inserted deep into the center of the bread comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 10 minutes. Turn the bread out of the pan and cool it thoroughly on the rack before slicing.
