Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup finely chopped peeled apple
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.33 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup butter (for frosting)
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Optionally, line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Shred zucchini and press out moisture using a clean towel. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat eggs with both sugars until smooth. Add melted butter and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in the shredded zucchini and chopped apples.
  6. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, melt ¼ cup butter in a saucepan. Stir in ½ cup brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
  9. Whisk in milk and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread frosting over cooled bread. Let set before slicing.
