I have been back pouring through my mom’s stash of recipes and found this gem. We always had a small garden growing up and I remember the abundance of zucchini during late summer. My mom would freeze grated zucchini in the portions she needed for various recipes, perfect to have on hand when she was ready to bake anything with zucchini, including Zucchini Apple Harvest Bread. The addition of a shredded apple makes this recipe unique, very moist and a wonderful bread to serve with a cup of coffee or tea.
