SUCCESS TIP
Success Tip: We found from our testing that the same amount of yeast is needed for both the 1 1/2-pound and 2-pound loaves.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine has a pan capacity of 9 to 12 cups, you will need to decrease the cinnamon to ½ teaspoon, the yeast to 1 ¾ teaspoons and the chipped apple to ½ cup for the 2-pound loaf, so the bread won't touch the lid of the bread machine during baking.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the apples and pecans 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

SUCCESS TIP
A crisp, tart or slightly tart apple is good for this bread because the brown sugar and toasted pecans will complement the tartness of the apple. Try a Granny Smith, Jonagold, Empire, Cortland, Greening, Haralson or Newton Pippin.
