Cinnamon Apple Pecan Bread With Vanilla Bean Glaze

• FOR THE BREAD:
• 3/4 cups Pecans, Roughly Chopped
• 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/4 teaspoons Plus 1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 cups Canola Or Vegetable Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Apple Cinnamon Chobani Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream Or Plain Greek Yogurt)
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Grated Red Apple (for 1 Cup You'll Need About 1 1/2 Apples)
• 1/2 whole Lemon, Zested
• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1/2 whole Fresh Vanilla Bean, Split In Half Lengthwise With Seeds Scraped Out (or 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract)
• 2 cups Confectioners Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Milk, More Or Less As Needed For Thinning

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. First, spread your chopped pecans on a lined baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes, then set aside.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Then, mix in the oil, yogurt, eggs, and sugar. Once combined, beat in the grated apple and lemon zest. Fold in the pecans.
4. Pour the batter into a lightly greased standard sized loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out clean.
5. Remove pan from the oven, invert bread out of the pan onto a cooling rack and let bread cool completely before glazing.
6. To make the glaze, whisk together the vanilla bean seeds, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Add milk by the tablespoons until it forms a smooth consistency. Keep in mind you want the glaze to be as thick as possible, almost to where it feels heavy to whisk.
7. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread and enjoy!
