Such a gorgeous autumn bread! I love how easily it comes together. The combination of apple and pecan with those spices sounds perfect.
This looks DELICOUS! I was just looking for a fall bread recipe to make (I’m not a huge fan of banana bread) and I’m definitely making this one!
What a lovely combination! Toasted pecans make everything better! :-)
