Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the zucchini.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the diced apples with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar. Stir until well combined. Gently fold in the apple mixture into the batter, being careful to not over mix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar.

Step 7

Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Check early to be safe, mine always takes 55 minutes, but every oven is different.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool completely on the wire cooling rack. Cut into slices and serve.
