Place the ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, adding the apple-fig mixture with the liquid ingredients. Set the crust for
dark, if your machine offers crust control for this setting, and program for the
Quick Bread/Cake cycle; press Start. The batter will be thick and smooth. When
the machine beeps at the end of the cycle, check the loaf for doneness. The bread
is done when it shrinks slightly from the sides of the pan, the sides are dark
brown, and the top is firm to a gentle pressure when touched with your finger. A
toothpick or metal skewer will come out clean when inserted into the center of the
bread.
When the bread is done, immediately remove the pan from the machine. Let the
bread stand in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out, right side up, to cool
completely on a rack. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill overnight or up to 3
days before serving.
