Apple Zucchini Bread

I’ve always loved the idea of having my own vegetable and herb garden. When I picture it in my mind, I see myself pulling an Ina Garten and heading outside to grab my gorgeous, homegrown herbs to sprinkle over my fancy dishes. I’d make sure I planted a lot of zucchini and a few apple trees in my yard so I could enjoy this Apple Zucchini Bread as much as I wanted! It’s full of juicy, tender apples and it’s so moist and delicious from the zucchini, plus did we talk about that crumb topping. If you are like me and think crumb topping is LIFE then this one is for you!

Yeah. There’s a little bit of a disconnect between my imagination and reality. The garden, the fact I want to eat the whole loaf of this Zucchini Apple Bread and get away with it….

Not only am I slightly green-thumb impaired (so, obviously, right off the bat we can assume my garden will never look like Ina’s), my idea of a fancy meal is using a different cheese besides cheddar on my stovetop mac and cheese recipe (clearly, I’m more of a casual, comfort-food kind of girl).

Zucchini Apple Bread

So, no, the zucchini in this recipe is not homegrown (for those of you with zucchini gardens, teach me your ways! But really though…), but the mixture of the fresh zucchini with the sweet apples makes this quick bread recipe a total crowd pleaser.

Do you have to peel zucchini to make apple zucchini bread?

No need to peel the zucchini, the skin melts right into this sweet zucchini apple bread!

And that crumb topping! Am I right?! It’s a pretty similar recipe to the one I used on this coffee cake banana bread, and it was my greatest decision all week long. I’m not even joking.

If you are looking for a staple Zucchini Bread Recipe this one is great!

I have a bit of a thing for sweet and simple breads. Whenever I’m in a cafe or coffee shop, my willpower gets a workout as I try to refrain from tacking on a muffin, apple turnover, a small slice of lemon loaf cake, or pound cake (okay, okay, I know pound cake is technically a cake rather than a bread, but when it’s shaped like a bread loaf, I’m calling it a bread so I can justify my dessert later 😉 ).

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 bread pan. Set aside.

Apples

• In a small saucepan over med-low heat, cook chopped apples with 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, 1 Tbsp butter, and 1 tsp of cinnamon, for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until apples have begun to soften. Pull off heat and allow to cool.

Bread

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
• In a another bowl, mix oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
• Making a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
• Add in grated zucchini (zucchini is a very wet vegetable, so try to pat off as much excess water as possible with a paper towel before adding to the batter) and cooled apples. Fold into the batter.
• Pour batter into prepared bread pan.

Crumb Topping

• Combine cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter, and mix until the topping looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle coating evenly over the batter.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean (My oven took exactly 55 minutes; around the 40-minute mark, I usually cover the bread with a piece of foil to keep the top from browning too much).
• Allow bread to cool before removing from pan.
• Enjoy!
