If your bread is dry AND heavy, it indicates that the batter was overworked. If there seemed to be too little liquid in the recipe, you probably had to mix a little longer to get your ingredients properly combined.
It means the yeast may not be working or the dough has not been kneaded enough.

I love zucchini and grow it in my garden every year. Zucchini is pretty much tasteless, and takes on the flavor of whatever it is mixed in with it. I make zucchini bread with pineapple, nuts and raisins, chocolate zucchini bread, which tastes like brownies, lemon zucchini bread with nuts, zest of a lemon and lemon flavoring. With that being said, this is how I would do it. If you want zucchini to taste like apple pie use all the ingredients you normally use for apple pie, substituting zucchini for apples. Zucchini has a lot of water, so I think I would slice, chop it and put on paper towels to remove some of the moisture. I even think you could mix zucchini and apples.
