• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 med granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped (2 cups)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray an 8x11 baking pan with non-stick spray.
2. Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl - flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg.
3. Stir the chopped apples and lemon juice, and set aside.
4. In a large bowl cream the sugar and butter together and add in the egg, orange juice and vanilla.
