To begin, grease and flour or otherwise prepare three 4x9" loaf pans. (See Note). Set them aside.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, salt, and baking soda. Stir these together and set aside for now.
In your mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, and apple sauce.
Mix in the pumpkin.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the 3 loaf pans, dividing the batter evenly.
Bake for 1 hour, or until they test done with a toothpick.
Cool the loaves in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove the loaves to a rack and cool the rest of the way.
Enjoy!

Notes
I coat all of my baking dishes with a mixture that I make and keep in the pantry. Whether the recipe calls for the pan to be sprayed with cooking/baking spray or it calls for it to be greased and floured. Look for my "homemade baking spray replacement" here on the blog.
