List of Ingredients

1 C. sugar
8 oz. sour cream
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 C. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 C. chopped, peeled tart apple
1 C. chopped pecans
1/4 C. butter or margarine
1/4 C. brown sugar


Recipe

Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Heat oven to 350ºF.

In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla extract on low speed with an electric mixer until combined. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and add to sour cream mixture. Stir gently just until combined. Stir in apple and 1/2 cup pecans. Spoon into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining pecans, pressing them lightly into the batter.

Bake for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent the bread loosely with aluminum foil if it appears to be browning too fast. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack.

As the bread is cooling, combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir to melt butter, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and boil gently for 1 minute. When you remove the bread from the pan, drizzle the top with brown sugar mixture. Cool. Slice and serve.

Makes 1 loaf.
