-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon unsalted butter -- softened
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- (9 oz),
plus more for the pan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup diced apples
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs -- room temp
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- melted and cooled, (4 oz)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Warm spices, apples, and plenty of toasted pecans make this the
perfect fall quick bread. Applesauce adds an extra hit of apple
flavor while chopped pecans make an appealing crunchy top.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to
350F. Butter and then flour the bottom and sides of a 6-cup (8-1/2 x
4-1/2" or 9 x 5") loaf pan, tapping out any excess flour.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt,
cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended. Stir in the
toasted pecans and apples.
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Add the
applesauce and whisk until blended. Pour the wet ingredients over the
dry ingredients. Add the melted butter. Using a silicone spatula,
gently fold until blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly
Sprinkle the chopped untoasted pecans evenly over the batter, gently
patting them in so they adhere
Bake, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden and a wooden
skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 min.
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 30 min. Invert the bread and remove
the pan, turn the bread right side up, and let cool completely.
Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days
Yields one loaf, 10 servings
