Autumn Apple Pecan Bread

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1.5 cups whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup apple butter
1/2 cup apple cinnamon applesauce
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk

2 apples - cored, peeled, and diced

1/2 cup pecans - chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and flour surface. In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk canola oil and brown sugar. Mix in cinnamon, apple butter and apple cinnamon applesauce. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Add apples and pecans, fold until combined.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and tap the sides of the pan to distribute mixture evenly into pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean.

Enjoy 20 minutes after baking, within a few days refrigerated, or freeze individual slices to take to work!
