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.

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.

Time 2h40m

Yield 2 (8- x 4-inch) loaves

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup butter, softened
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup Slow-Cooker Apple Butter
1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Sprinkle top of batter evenly with Streusel Topping.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a long wooden pick inserted in center of each loaf comes out clean and sides pull away from pans, 50 minutes to 1 hour, shielding tops of pans with aluminum foil during last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.
