This recipe can be multiplied by 2.

Bread will keep for 72 - 96 hours in a plastic bag. Reheat gently. This will freeze fairly well if sealed tightly in a plastic bag.

This recipe can be multiplied by two but must be cooked in two separate loaf pans.

1/4 cup	pecans (coarsely chopped)
2 tsp	maple syrup
1/4 tsp	ground cinnamon
1 large	egg yolk
1 Tbsp	light spread (like Promise Buttery Spread Light or Smart Balance Light)
2/3 cup	Splenda
1/2 cup	unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp	pure vanilla extract
3 large	egg whites
1 1/4 cups	all purpose white flour
3/4 cup	whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp	salt
2 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	baking soda
1 tsp	ground cinnamon
1/4 cup	wheat germ
2 cups	apples (peeled and diced)
1/2 cup	non-fat buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 1 1/2 quart glass Pyrex oblong loaf pan with foil (non-stick foil works best).

Combine a the pecans, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until well blended. Set aside.

Whisk the egg yolk until smooth. Add the reduced-fat spread and whisk together until smooth. Add the Splenda®, applesauce and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.

In separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they begin to be very frothy and white. Do not beat into stiff peaks.

Place the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and wheat germ in a sifter and sift into the mixing bowl.

Gently fold the creamed mixture together with the flour mixture. As this is blended add the grated apples.

Just as the apples are blended in add buttermilk and fold until smooth. As soon as the mixture is well blended add the frothed egg whites and fold together until smooth.

Pour the batter into the lined Pyrex dish. Spread the pecan and maple syrup mixture evenly over the top and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 60 minutes.
