Ingredients
Bread
- 1 1/2 cups chunky applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice

- 1 cup chopped pecans
Topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease two 8x4 or 9x5-inch loaf pans with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the applesauce, oil, sugars, eggs, milk, and vanilla and mix on low speed just until combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two separate additions, mixing between each one and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
- In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients and then evenly sprinkle over the two pans of batter. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a cake tester comes clean from the center of the loaves.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan full before removing and enjoying.
