Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan well with cooking spray or grease and flour it. Set aside.
  2. Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, add melted butter, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Fluff with a fork until small pebbles and crumbs form. Add more flour if necessary.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, oil, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in grated apples gently.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 48 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if necessary to prevent over-browning.
  9. Cool in pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store airtight at room temperature up to 5 days or in freezer for up to 3 months.
