Ingredients

For the bread:

1 cup carrot grated fine
1 cup apple grated fine
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1-¼ cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 cup sour cream
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup applesauce
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

For the Lemon Glaze:

2 cups confectioner's sugar
3½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

Grate the carrot and set aside. Then pulse the peeled apple in the food processor, and add to the carrots.
1 cup carrot, 1 cup apple
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and grease two loaf pans.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, 1-¼ cups sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon allspice
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the remaining wet ingredients.
1 cup sour cream, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup applesauce, 4 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla
Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Gently fold in the carrot and apple.
When the mixture is smooth, carefully spread the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 50-55 minutes.
Turn out onto a cooling rack.
When cool, drizzle with lemon glaze.
2 cups confectioner's sugar, 3½ teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Notes

Since this makes two very large loaves, it's well worth freezing one of the loaves for later. You can wrap it in plastic wrap and tuck it into a gallon-sized freezer bag, or just double freezer bag it. (Note, add the glaze to the thawed loaf for best results).
