Awesome Apple Bread

Ingredients

3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups chopped, pared, cored apples (about 3-4)
1 cup chopped pecans

Topping 

2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour two loaf pans (or I use those mini loaf pans).

Stir the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla together in medium-sized bowl until well mixed.

Combine the flour, soda and cinnamon, and then stir into liquid ingredients until just evenly mixed. Stir in the apples and pecans. (Mixture will be very thick and gloppy).

Divide between the two loaf pans.

Prepare the topping: Combine sugar and cinnamon in small cup; sprinkle over the loaves.

Bake in preheated oven at 325 for approx. 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check it carefully with a tester inserted in center; be sure it comes out CLEAN.  Make sure it's done. Nothing's worse than raw middle.

Let the bread cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges of the pans. Remove the bread from the pans to wire racks to cool.

The bread is better the second day.
