You’ll be so surprised at how delicious this Carrot Apple Walnut Bread is. My friend, Susan, dug out the original recipe from a vegetarian book she had in her college days. The first time I tasted her version, it was almost like cake. It was so good! But of course, I had to tinker with the recipe to remove the eggs, oil, and milk, yet still come up with a moist, slightly sweet crumb. So here’s my version of a delicious bread to serve with any meal, with company, or for morning or afternoon snacks. Try it toasted!

Tips
To quickly and finely chop the carrots, apple, and walnuts, use a food processor. Cut the carrots and apple into large chunks, then add to the food processor along with the walnuts. Pulse the food processor on and off until the ingredients are finely chopped.
