- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt

Cinnamon Icing
- 6 tbsp powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla. Add egg and whisk until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In two batches, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl between batches.
- Remove bowl from mixer and stir in apples, pecans, and oats using a rubber spatula.
- Grease the mini loaf 8-cavity pan with cooking spray and evenly divide dough until each cavity is a little less than halfway full. Smooth the tops with the rubber spatula.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, make the icing by combining powdered sugar, heavy cream, and cinnamon in a small bowl and whisking until smooth.
- Let bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, generously drizzle icing over the bars.
- These bars keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days and they taste even better the second day!
