Zucchini Apple Bread (Gone Green)

     Usually on St. Patrick's Day, I make a loaf of Irish Soda bread. This year I put tradition aside and baked a loaf that is appropriate only because it offers a bit of green - zucchini in the batter and leprechaun dust on top! Actually one small bag of shredded zucchini left in the freezer influenced my decision on what to bake, so we ended up with a zucchini apple bread. Spiced with cinnamon, studded with chopped pecans and glazed with thin icing,  the sweet bread was served for a late dessert with a wee bit of Baileys Irish Cream. It was perfect for breakfast (with coffee!) the next day as well.
