PRALINE APPLE BREAD

Category: Quick Breads

1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder, baking soda and salt
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apple
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Topping
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cream together the sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Sift and add to the cream mixture the flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the apples and pecans. Mix well. Pour batter into a well-buttered loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes.

When done, pour over the topping and return to the oven for 5 minutes. This is fairly messy (but worth it) so place the pan on a foil lined cookie pan. When you remove it (by removing the cookie sheet with pan still on it) take a butter knife and loosen each side of the loaf so the topping goes down the sides of the loaf. Cool and then remove from the pan.

Topping: Add the sugar, cinnamon and milk to the melted butter in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the pecan, stir and turn off the heat. Pour over the baked bread as is directed in the recipe.
