Ingredients

For the Bread:
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two loaf pans with baking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine butter and sugar for the bread. Beat until combined. Add in eggs, almond extract and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  3. Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add in sour cream. Batter will be thick.
  4. Fold in apples and pecans. Divide batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
  5. Bake for 60-65 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire rack, completely, before adding the glaze.
  6. For the glaze, heat butter and brown sugar in small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring continuously, and boil for 1 full minute.
  7. Spoon small amounts of the glaze over the bread and sprinkle with pecans. Repeat several times until all the glaze and nuts are used. Allow to set (about 30 minutes). Wrap up for freshness and store at room temperature. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Prepare your bread pans by spraying them with baking spray AND lining the bottom with a small piece of parchment paper. Nobody wants their bread to stick to the bottom and be ruined. This extra step guarantees they will come out perfect!
  • Make sure you dice your peeled apples into thumbnail sized pieces, and your pecans too!
  • If you don’t have sour cream, you can substitute plain (or vanilla) GREEK yogurt in this recipe. It must be Greek though, as it’s thicker in consistency.
  • For the glaze, once you’ve boiled the brown sugar and butter, spoon small amounts over your bread then sprinkle with pecans. Repeat several layers until all the glaze is used!
  • Once the glaze hardens, wrap in foil and keep at room temperature until ready to serve! ENJOY!
