1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly spray an 8 1/2-by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil.
2. Mix the oil, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and yogurt in a large bowl or food processor until well combined. Stir in the carrot, apple and raisins.

Wow, this turns out so moist and flavorful! Spices are perfect. I subbed dried cranberries for the raisins. Will be making this often. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
