APRICOT PECAN EGGNOG BREAD



Apricot Pecan Eggnog Bread image

This is based on truebrit's Eggnog Bread (#103993) which is delicious. Since I'm not really a fan of raisins or cherries, I substituted dried apricots, plus I increased the amount of pecans. The original recipe calls for a regular loaf pan baked at 350F for 70 minutes. I use 3 tiny loaf pans (3in. x 5 1/2in. x 2 in.). at 325F for a about 50 minutes, and substitute Splenda for the sugar.
