Made 4 loaves for church this year because I got so many compliments last year!.

This Apple Zucchini Bread is a delightful twist on a classic, combining the moistness of zucchini with the sweet, tangy flavor of apples. The warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg make it a perfect treat for cozy mornings or afternoon snacks. Whether you enjoy it plain or with a touch of butter, this bread is sure to be a hit!

   • Gently fold in the grated zucchini and grated apple until evenly distributed.
   • If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
5. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
   • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

   • It’s delicious on its own or spread with a bit of butter.
