--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          bread
    1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour
    2          teaspoons  cinnamon -- ground
    1           teaspoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/4      teaspoon  salt
    1                cup  light brown sugar -- packed
       1/2           cup  canola oil
       1/2           cup  sour cream
    2                     eggs
    1 1/2           cups  apples -- peeled and finely chopped
       1/3           cup  crystallized ginger -- finely chopped

                          Glaze
       1/2           cup  light brown sugar -- packed
       1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- cut up
       1/4           cup  heavy whipping cream
    1           teaspoon  light corn syrup
       1/2      teaspoon  fresh ginger -- grated

Heat oven to 350F. Spray 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking 
spray. Line with parchment paper, allowing paper to extend over 
sides. Spray paper with cooking spray. Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking 
powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.

Blend 1 cup brown sugar, oil, sour cream and eggs in blender 1 minute 
or until smooth. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Pour in egg 
mixture; whisk until moistened. Stir in apples and crystallized 
ginger; spoon into pan.

Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until wooden skewer inserted in center comes 
out clean but slightly moist. (Internal temperature should read 
210F.) Cool in pan on wire rack set over sheet of waxed paper 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring all glaze ingredients to a boil in small saucepan 
over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, stirring 
occasionally. Cool slightly.

Remove bread from pan; remove parchment. With wooden skewer, poke 
holes in top of bread every inch, inserting skewer all the way 
through bread. Spoon 1/4 cup of the warm glaze over hot bread, 
allowing glaze to seep into holes. Cool completely on wire rack.

Gently warm remaining glaze just until spreadable. Spoon over bread, 
allowing glaze to drip down sides. Let stand until set.
