    2 1/2 C sugar
    3 eggs
    3/4 C oil
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    2 C grated zucchini
    3 C flour
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp ground cloves
    1 tsp nutmeg
    1 C chopped nuts
    **1 container applesauce, natural style (no added sugar)

    Beat together well the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. When well blended, thoroughly mix in grated zucchini. Next add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices and mix throughly. AT this point, add in chopped nuts (optional) and the container of applesauce. Pour into a greased and floured (I use Baker's Joy) Bundt pan, 2 9 X 5 loaf pans or 3 8 X 4 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes. Cool in pan(s) for 10 minutes and turn out. Cool desired amount of time, eat and enjoy. These can be frozen for later use if well wrapped in Press 'n' Seal and then aluminum foil.

    ** For applesauce, I use a Motts single serving size container that I buy in the canned fruit section. I do use Motts Natural, No Sugar Added variety. If not using applesauce, then use 1 C oil. The applesauce makes a moister bread which I like better than no applesauce and all oil.

    No problem. This is a crowd pleaser. I have had a few people not like it because of the spices used in it but not very many. Great way to use up excess zucchini.

    Yumm.... when/if you run out of applesauce, use apple butter. I'm gonna try this out next week, Chris. Thank you for posting. I have saved made sure your name, post date, etc. is on my copy. Can't wait... ! Thank you.

    You're welcome and I never thought of substituting apple butter. I honestly thought everyone had a zucchini bread recipe - very common where I grew up.

    Yummy! Thanks Chris! I will have to buy applesauce. I plan to make this tomorrow if the weather is much cooler. I bookmarked your recipe in my pages.

    Thanks for posting!
