BUTTER PECAN GLAZE

This is the glaze that I made to top my Fresh Apple Cake, but you can use it to top ice cream, pies & other cakes or desserts. I thought it was a good idea to share the glaze recipe by it's self, in the event you just wanted a toasted pecan glaze to compliment a dessert. I love butter pecan & this glaze is quick, simple, easy,...
