1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a deep 4-quart baking dish.
2. Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir eggs into butter mixture until smooth; stir in grated apple.
3. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and salt together. Stir flour mixture into apple mixture; spoon into prepared dish.
