“Flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, Makeover Zucchini Apple Bread delivers plenty of down-home goodness. The recipe yields three nut-filled loaves, but contains nearly 60% less fat than the recipe Kathy followed. Best of all, the sugar was decreased by 28%.”

INGREDIENTS

* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 teaspoons baking soda
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs
* 3/4 cup canola oil
* 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups shredded zucchini
* 1 cup peeled and grated apple
* 1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the oil, applesauce, sugars and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini, apples and pecans.
2. Transfer to three 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
