APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL BREAD

I needed to take a sweet treat to a visit with my cousin recently.  Although it is not Fall by any means, I found this quick bread in my files to try.  Even in summertime this tasted pretty good and was a hit.
APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL BREAD
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup oatmeal (I used old-fashioned, not quick) 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 3/4 oil 1/2 cup sour cream  1 cup applesauce (I would recommend chunky as the regular did not have a strong flavor) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
ICING/GLAZE
2 Tablespoons butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 2 Tablespoons heavy cream 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and mix well.  In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, sour cream, applesauce and vanilla.  Combine wet ingredients to dry and mix well until blended. Add nuts if desired.  Pour into a greased 9 inch loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until middle tests dry.  Let cool.  Prepare icing/glaze.
For icing/glaze, in a saucepan add butter, brown sugar and cream.  Bring to a boil.  Stir until sugar melts, about 1 minute.  Remove and add powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Might need to add more cream to make good consistency.  Spread on cooled bread.  Can sprinkle pecans on top if desired.
