Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread

I took two loaves of this Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread to the swim meet yesterday – TWO – and there isn’t a crumb left today. I had to pry the container from Bryce’s little hands right before swimming the fly because he was chowing down on this bread like it was cheat day. Reece also took first place in the 25 free so I’m thinking this bread might have magical properties….

I’ll admit, the bread is pretty irresistible. It’s so pretty to look at and the flavor backs it up.
