Apple Zucchini Bread


Apple Zucchini Bread Recipe

Since apples and zucchini are so abundant in this area, it's only natural that the two be used together in one recipe. I really don't know the origin of this bread, but I do know it's been one of my favorites for many years.
 
This makes rather a LOT  of bread -two large loaves or 3 smaller loaves. It is delicious though and though I've never done it, you can freeze it.
 
We didn't tell Joey it had zucchini in it. We just told him it was apple bread and he loved it. After about his 19th slice, he asked what the little green specks were and I told him it was green apples. 
 
Some one finally spilled the beans and he now knows there is zucchini in there as well as apples. He just asked for another slice. 
 
I didn't add the pecans though....let's not get carried away.
