Description
This moist, cinnamon-kissed loaf brings together the best of both worlds—crisp apples and fresh zucchini. It’s subtly sweet, perfectly spiced, and loaded with texture from walnuts and fruit. Whether it’s breakfast, snack, or dessert, this bread is comfort in every slice.
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (or use half applesauce for a lighter version)
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup diced, peeled apple
1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil (and applesauce, if using), and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, stirring just until combined.
Fold in zucchini, apple, and walnuts.
Divide batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
