Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

For the Bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 medium apples diced (about 2 cups)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Pecan Crunch Topping:

  • 1 cup pecans chopped & toasted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Prepare Ingredients: Dice apples into small cubes and toast pecans until fragrant.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in diced apples.
  • Prepare Topping: Mix pecans, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Assemble: Pour batter into the loaf pan and evenly sprinkle with the pecan topping.
  • Bake: Place in the oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples for the best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the bread soft and tender.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Let the bread rest before slicing for better texture and flavor development.
