Glazed Apple and Pecan Bread

Glazed Apple and Pecan Bread

When we went to the Apple Cider Mill In Vermont a few weeks back, you can check it out here. Seeing all of those apples and apple cider donuts, gave me the idea of an apple bread. I checked out some recipes and then added my own twist - pecans. You could use whatever nut you have on hand.

Except for the apple, you probably have everything on hand for this bread.  It would go great with a cup of coffee, check out our Coffee Blog Tour and Giveaway or afternoon tea. 

It smelled so good right out of the oven. I thought I would cut a slice to try it.

Then I realized that I forgot to frost it.

Although it was good plain, the glaze made it sooooo much better.

Glazed Apple and Pecan Bread


Eclectic Red Barn Share NOW. #recipes #breakfastbread #apples #pecans #eclecticredbarn


  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 stick salted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans 
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of clove
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a loaf pan (I used the flour-based baking spray, but you can grease and flour, if you prefer). 
2. Cream together white sugar and butter, until fluffy and combined. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating just after each addition. Add vanilla and mix until all combined.
3. Combine flours, baking powder, and salt. Add a little of this to the mix, alternating with milk, a little at a time each, until all is combined. Fold in pecans.
4. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
5. Spread an even layer of batter into prepared pan (about an inch deep). Sprinkle with half of the apples and half of the brown sugar and spice mixture. Spread rest of batter on top evenly. Cover with the rest of the apples and brown sugar mixture. Bake for 1 hour, or slightly less (depending on doneness). 
6. Allow to cool slightly then turn out on a wire rack to finish cooling. 
Combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk with a whisk until totally combined. For a thicker glaze, use less milk.  Drizzle the glaze onto the bread with a spoon.

    1. Jean,
      Thank you for your kind words on my apple and pecan loaf. It is nice when the weather cools for baking but we climbed back into the low 90s this week. Yikes, that isn't exactly fall baking weather.
      Have a lovely day.
      Hugs,
      Bev
