Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 ¼ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan with parchment and grease it with nonstick spray.
2. Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of 1 heaping cup of shredded zucchini using a paper towel, dish towel or cheesecloth.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the zucchini, applesauce, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla. Add the melted coconut oil and mix again until well combined.
4. Stir in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and salt with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the pecans and chopped apple.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until a tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. It may take about an hour depending on your oven.
6. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk on medium speed for about a minute until smooth. If you want a warm glaze, microwave in 10-20 second bursts until warm.
8. Spread or pour the glaze over the cooled bread, sprinkle with chopped pecans, then slice into 10-12 pieces.
