In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the egg, egg whites, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves.

Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 30 seconds longer, until no streaks of flour appear.
-
Stir in the apples and nuts by hand.
-
Pour into pans and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool 15 minutes on a rack. Unmold from pans and allow to cool completely.

For the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients. Whisk to make a medium-thick glaze.
