Preparation
Preheat your oven to 170ºC. Grease 2 loaf tins, then line them with baking paper, letting 2cm of paper hang over the sides of the tins.
Sieve the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large bowl.
Add the grated carrots, zucchini and apple, then stir everything well.
Put the butter and sugar in a different bowl and beat until light.
Add the eggs to the sugar mix one at a time, beating the mixture after each one.
Add the orange juice and vanilla to the egg-sugar mix, and combine well.
Fold the egg mix into the flour mix, combining everything gently.
Gently spoon the mixture into the 2 loaf tins and use the back of the spoon to smooth the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until golden. Test if it’s ready by putting a skewer into the middle - if it comes out clean, then the loaf has cooked all the way through and it’s ready to take out of the oven.
Let the loaves cool in the tin, then serve.
