Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Combine all ingredients except for the sliced apple into a bowl and gently fold over until all the flour is mixed in, don't overmix.
- Pour the batter into a silicon bread pan or a lined pan.
- Place the sliced apples on top and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Keep the apple peelings from the grated apple to munch on as you wait for the bread to cook :-)
