Apple Praline Bread

[Melissa Burnell]

The perfect bread for any occasion, our Praline Bread is made with apples, toasted pecans and sweet glaze. These ingredients meld together into an irresistibly rich flavor that’s perfect in every bite!

I prefer to use Cortland apples for this recipe, if you don’t have those in your area, you can use granny smith or MacIntosh apples instead. The variety of apple you choose does make a difference in the end product.

Apple Praline Bread

you’ll need:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups Cortland apples, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup chopped pecans, divided

For the praline sauce:
1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Set aside.

Beat the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Stop the mixer and add the flour, leavening agents, and salt. Using low speed, beat until well combined.

Fold half of the nuts and the apples into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle the rest of the nuts on top and gently press them into the batter. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the loaf pan for 20-30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a light colored loaf pan will prevent it from getting too dark.

For the praline sauce:

Place brown sugar and butter in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce slowly for about a minute, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and drizzle over bread. Let cool completely.
