This scrumptious and moist Carrot Bread combines fresh grated carrots, shredded apple, chopped pecans, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg into the best carrot loaf you will ever have. It is one of my favorite quick bread recipes and it is so easy to make. If you are a carrot cake lover this is a must try recipe. I am kind of a sucker for a good homemade quick bread. They are so easy to get in the oven and they taste so much better than store bought loaves. This bread, Lemon Blueberry Bread, Banana Nut Bread, and Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Glaze are just a few of my favorites.
