Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.SUCCESS TIPA crisp, tart or slightly tart apple is good for this bread because the brown sugar and toasted pecans will complement the tartness of the apple. Try a Granny Smith, Jonagold, Empire, Cortland, Greening, Haralson or Newton Pippin.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
