- Preheat and Prepare:

- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda, salt, apple pie spice, and 1 1/2 cups of flour.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Assemble the Bread:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Make the Streusel Topping:
- In a bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons flour until combined.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Gently turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
