I've increased the spices in this bread, and now it is nice and spicy. Makes one loaf.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 tbsp milk
1 1/4 cups applesauce
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking pwd
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Topping (optional)
3/4 cup chpd pecans
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix together the sugar and oil. Beat in the eggs, milk and applesauce. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, soda, baking pwd, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Stir into the creamed mixture and mix well. If desired, stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans. Spread in a well-greased loaf pan. Combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter. Bake 350 degrees for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
