1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 Teaspoon Cloves
1 Cup Sugar

Instructions

Make The Bread:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8X4 inch baking pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the first nine ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine. (The batter will be extremely thick). Mix in apples and 1 cup chopped pecans until evenly distributed through batter.
  3. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth out the top of batter with the back of a spoon. Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean and edges of bread are just pulling away from baking pan.

Make The Glaze:

  1. In a heavy bottomed 2 quart saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and using a hand-held electric mixer beat on medium speed until smooth. Pour half the glaze immediately over each loaf of cooled bread and sprinkle evenly with pecans.
