Another great recipe out of my Taste of Home's Light & Tasty cookbook....I've been asked by a few people for this recipe now, so here you go! Sorry it took so long for me to post...hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Zucchini Apple Bread (Healthier Version)

4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp baking soda

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp salt

2 eggs (reduced from 5 eggs in regular recipe)

¾ cup canola oil (reduced from 1 ½ cups vegetable oil in regular recipe)

1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce

1 cup sugar (reduced from 2 cups in regular recipe)

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups shredded zucchini

1 cup grated peeled apples

½ cup chopped pecans (reduced from 1 cup in regular recipe)

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the oil, applesauce, sugars and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini, apples and pecans.

Transfer to THREE 8in x 4in x 2in loaf pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake @ 350 for 55-60 min. or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 min. before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 3 loaves
