Time 2h45m

Yield 1 regular loaf or 3 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more melted butter or oil for brushing the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup Old-Fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest, optional
1 cup shredded apples, excess moisture squeezed out
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the oats and pecans and toss together. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded apples. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup apple butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Combine buttermilk and soda. Combine flour and spices. Add alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in apple butter and pecans.
  • Pour into greased and floured 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350*F for 1 hour or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes; remove to wire rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through without being overbaked.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature: This is when the bread is at its best.
