Caramel Apple-Pecan Bread


Autumn breakfast made easy with this gorgeously sweet Caramel Apple-Pecan Bread baked in oven-proof paper baking pans.

Fall is in full swing and I'm determined to make the most of it! It's my favorite time of year, but it lasts for such a short time. Already, most of our colorful trees have turned bare and the ground is covered with soggy leaves and munched-on acorns. The squirrels and chipmunks are out in full force, gathering their winter meals. We even had a chipmunk come in our house last week when Cainan opened the door to grab a package!

Have you seen these adorable paper baking pans? My mom was asking about a Pampered Chef stoneware mini loaf pan, but it's been discontinued. I found these last week and thought I'd give them a try to see if I could recommend them to her. You just fill them and bake the same as you would for metal or glass. The bread comes out beautiful! I think they're super cute for gifting. I made this Caramel Apple-Pecan Bread for the kids this morning. It's almost to pretty to eat. Almost. The caramel glaze on top reminds me of the Cracker Jack popcorn my Dad used to make us on a family night at home.


Caramel Apple-Pecan Bread
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sour cream or milk
1/2 c. oil
4 eggs
1 baking apple, grated (I use the Pampered Chef Veggie Strip Maker)
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

Glaze
2 TB. butter
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 TB. water

Heat oven to 350ยบ. Grease two 8 in. loaf pans or four mini loaf pans. Mix brown sugar, sour cream, oil, and eggs together until well blended. Stir in grated apple. In a separate bowl, stir together dry ingredients, then add to wet mixture. Stir together and spread into pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes for standard loaves or 20-30 minutes for mini loaves. For glaze, melt butter in a sauce pan and stir in remaining ingredients. Cook until the mixture just begins to bubble and then cook and stir one minute. Drizzle on bread immediately and sprinkle with more chopped pecans, if desired.
