3 eggs, room temperature

¼ cup fresh orange juice

¾ tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of ground cloves

pinch of ground nutmeg

2 cups shredded carrots

1 cup shredded zucchini

1 cup diced, peeled apple

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. 

Line with parchment paper and set aside. 

place zucchini in a large kitchen towel. 

Bring up the four corners and twist. 

Squeeze the towel to extract all the liquid from the zucchini,

 or as much as you can. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, 

baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, oil and sugar.
Add eggs, orange juice, and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients 

along with the shredded carrots,

 shredded zucchini, and apples,
