Zucchini/Apple Bread

The last time, at the end of September I stopped at Danny & Fred's house (super late after the RS broadcast) they gave me a zucchini that was the size of my thigh... no joke.. so I used some in a green curry, and the rest has gone to bread & the freezer for future usage ;-) I have made a couple of zucchini bread recipes, but this one always wins for the best tasting one... there is  is also a very ation to do it as apple bread which I have also used and had a lot of people like... it's super simple.. thank you better homes and gardens!
