• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray (2) 8x4 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.

Apple Bread

• In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and all spice together until combined.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully incorporated.
• On low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined.
• Next, add the applesauce. Make sure not to overmix.
• Stir in chopped pecan.

Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

• In a medium bowl add brown sugar, pecans, flour, and melted butter. Stir with a fork until fully combined.
• Pour batter equally into prepared loaf pans.
• Sprinkle the topping mixture over the batter.
• Bake in the oven uncovered for 50-55 minutes. If the topping starts to brown too much, just place a piece of aluminum foil over both loaf pans.
