Ingredients

  • 3-3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  • 1 medium  Granny Smith apple
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350Ëš F. Grease and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans using 2 tablespoons of flour.

  5. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Do not over mix.
  6. Fold in apples and zucchini and pour mixture into loaf pans. Spread mixture evenly.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes.

  9. Take the bread out of the oven once it has baked for 40 minutes and add the crumb topping.
  10. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean (from the center of the loaf).
