Apple Pecan Bread

Do you ever notice sometimes with fruit that you buy it and before you know it you have too much? I ended up with about a dozen apples because I kept buying them for snacks thinking I was out. I was not.

This bread is moist and very tasty. The whole wheat flour does not make it too dense and the applesauce helps cut back on the oil.

PS: I put my ove glove in one of the pictures because it is my new favorite kitchen gadget!!! I got a set as a Christmas gift and they are awesome.
