½ cup finely chopped walnuts

6. Combine egg and milk mixture with apples and dry ingredients and nuts. Mix well.

7. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan.

8. Cut the cold butter into thin, small pieces and dot the top of the batter with the butter.

9. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes; then cover with foil and bake 10 minutes more.

10. Remove pan from oven and crimp the foil along the sides; let the bread cool.

11. Serve as is or drizzle a glaze over the top before slicing. Also good served as a dessert with whipped topping.

Glaze: Combine ½ cup of confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon of milk, and a few drops of vanilla extract. Blend until the sugar is dissolved into the milk. The glaze should be thick but still drizzle off of a spoon onto the bread. If the glaze is too thick and stiff, add a few drops of milk and work in to get desired consistency.
