Preheat oven to 350 and be sure that the rack is in the center of the oven. Prepare a loaf pan(8 x 4 ) with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

Peel and core the apples, then shred with a grater. Place the shredded apples in a bowl and add the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix well. Set the apples aside for 10 minutes

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

While you are waiting for the apple mixture prepare the maple walnuts. Preheat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add the maple syrup and the nuts, stir until the nuts are toasted  and the syrup is caramelized, the sprinkle with the salt. Remove from heat and place on a silphat baking sheet until cool. Once cool chop roughly.

After the apples have sat for 10 minutes add the oil, lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla to the apple mixture. Stir until all of the ingredients are blended.

Stir the flour mixture into the apple mixture, adding it in 3 parts. Make sure not to over mix, stir the mixture just until the flour disappears. Then fold in the nuts.

Pour the batter into the pan then top with the chopped maple glazed nuts. Place pan into oven and bake for 55-75 minutes, check the bread after 30 minutes, if the top is browning too quickly cover with aluminum foil.

The bread is done, when a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and cool completely. Dust with powder sugar and enjoy.
