Method
 

Mixing the Bread Batter
  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Using a food processor or box grater, shred the fresh zucchini.
  2. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and using a wire whisk mix until the mixture turns lighter in color and texture.
  3. Add the shredded zucchini and using the same wire whisk mix to combine.
  4. Add the walnuts mix to combine and set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl using a rubber spatula, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
  6. Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and using the wire whisk stir to combine.
  7. Add ⅓ of the Greek yogurt and stir to combine. Repeat this process until all of the flour and yogurt are used, ending the process with the yogurt.
Preparing the pan and Apple Topping
  1. Place the sliced apples in a small mixing bowl and toss with sugar and remaining ground cinnamon. Using about 1 tbsp. of butter spread it evenly onto the bottom of the pan. Spray the entire pan with pan release spray.
  2. Place the sliced apples on to the bottom of the pan creating a design of your choice! Place pats of the remaining softened butter on top of the apples.
  3. Carefully spread the batter on top of the sliced apples and butter, place the springe form pan onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet pan.
  4. Place into a 350 ℉ oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick placed into the center comes out clean. Place the springe form pan onto a cooling rack and cool the bread for 25 minutes.
Unmolding the Zucchini Bread
  1. While the bread is still warm place a large plate on top of the springe form pan and flip it. Carefully remove the springe form pan revealing the apples now on top.
  2. Cool for a few more minutes, slice, and enjoy!
