APPLE ZUCCHINI BREAD
inchworm, inchworm,
counting the marigolds
seems to me you'd stop and see
how beautiful they are
Yesterday was a very blustery day
-as Winnie-the-Pooh would say-
it was gray, and rainy and windy
all over our rather tiny island
all day long
I had turkey in the crock pot
apple zucchini bread in the oven much of the afternoon
I roasted various vegetables that I picked up at the community gardens
It certainly was a touch of autumn
there are no words to describe the tantalizing aroma
of baked goods, turkey, and the ocean breeze blowing rain through the windows
I wish you all were here.....
this recipe makes rather A LOT of bread....
there will be enough to gift
APPLE ZUCCHINI BREAD
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
- 1 cup shredded peeled apples
- 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs. Add oil, sugars and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in zucchini, apples and pecans (batter will be stiff). Spoon into three greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 3 loaves.
I omitted the pecans because I didn't have any,
and also because the boys are not so crazy about nuts in their food
