2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. water
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c. butter softened
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 c. white sugar

Stir in dry ingredients until combined. Gently fold in the apples.

Tuna rimmed baking sheet or empty cake pan upside down and lay it on the grill grate. Place the loaf pan on top. The baking sheet will keep the bottom of the loaf from overcooking.

While bread cools combine icing ingredients in a bowl. When the loaf is cool drizzle over the top of bread.

Notes

You can also prepare this in your oven instead of the smoker. It be the same temperature for approximately the same amount of time.
