Toast 1.5 cups of walnuts and chop roughly.

Sift and whisk together 2 cups of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until mixed.

Add 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined.

Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts gently until just incorporated.

Pour the batter into a prepared 9x5 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper or greased.

Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour, testing with a skewer for doneness.
