Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray two 9x5 loaf pans with non-stick spray and set aside.
To Make the Bread
To a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, applesauce, and vanilla.
4 large eggs,
1 cup granulated white sugar,
1 cup brown sugar,
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce,
1 tsp vanilla extract
To another large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3 1/2 cups all purpose white flour,
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and diced apples until evenly distributed.
2 cups shredded zucchini,
1 cup diced apple
Pour the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
To Make the Topping
To a small bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix together with a fork.
4 Tablespoons butter,
4 Tablespoons granulated white sugar,
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Sprinkle over the top of the batter in the loaf pans.
Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf should come out clean.
Let cool in the pans for a few minutes before flipping out & slicing.
Notes
Use applesauce for fewer calories, or oil for a softer texture.
No need to dry the zucchini—extra moisture is good!
Add nuts or raisins for crunch and flavor.
Boost flavor with nutmeg, allspice, or apple pie spice.
Cut sugar by using maple syrup, honey, or monk fruit. Skip the topping if you want.
Try almond or oat flour for a gluten-free option.
Use a serrated knife for easy slicing.
