Apple Praline Bread
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 Granny Smith apples, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup nuts (walnut or pecan or a combo), divided
For the praline sauce:
¼ cup brown sugar and ¼ cup butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Set
aside. Using an electric mixer, beat together the sour
cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla on low speed for a couple of minutes until well
blended. Stop the mixer and then add in the flour, leavening agents and salt.
Continue to beat on low until well combined.
Fold in the apples and half the nuts into the batter. Transfer the batter into
the greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the rest of the nuts on top and then press them
lightly into the batter. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the loaf pan for about 20-30 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack
to cool completely. So it doesn't get too dark, I suggest using a light colored
loaf pan.
For the praline sauce:
In a small sauce pan, place the butter and brown sugar. Using medium heat,
bring to a boil. Lower the heat and then simmer lightly for about one minute,
stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and then drizzle
over the bread. Cool completely.
