Ingredients
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 3 egg Whites
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Canola or other oil
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 large Tart apples, cored and grated on the large holes of a cheese shredder
  • 1/4 cup Nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), chopped
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cloves
  • 2 tablespoons Skim milk
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Lightly coat two 9-inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Dust with flour, tapping pan to remove excess flour. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  3. 3
    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the egg, egg whites, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Stir in the apples and nuts by hand.
  6. 6
    Pour into pans and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. 7
    Cool 15 minutes on a rack. Unmold from pans and allow to cool completely.
  8. 8
    For the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients. Whisk to make a medium-thick glaze.
  9. 9
    Drizzle over loaves and allow to set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
