Apples

First of all… since apples are so yummy and good for us I like to use them in recipes whenever I can. Usually, I’ll leave the peels on for extra fiber, especially if I am using organic apples from my parent’s farm. No chemicals or pesticides. Simply nature-made.

We often use these apples to make other delicious things such as Apple Pie Oatmeal, Mulled Apple Cider, or even in Mini Cast Iron Skillet Fruit Pies. 

Mix It Up!

Old-Fashioned Praline Apple Bread begins by combining the bread ingredients and pouring the batter into a 9 x 5″ loaf pan. 

Mini Loaves

However, please note that you can also use a Wilton’s Brownie Bar Baking Pan to make individual mini loaves. (NOTE: Bake for approximately 30 minutes.) 

Bake

Next, bake the bread at 350 degrees F. for 55 to 60 minutes. As the bread bakes the most intoxicating aroma will permeate your entire kitchen. 

Cool

It’s best to allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. 

Praline Glaze

Meanwhile, make the praline glaze by combining 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil for 1 minute. 

After the bread has cooled for 10 minutes, remove it from the loaf pan.

Next, drizzle the praline glaze over the top of the bread. 

Slice

I suggest using a serrated bread knife to cut the bread. It seems to work the best. 

Texture

Just look at all of that texture! Notice the chunks of apples and chopped pecans. 

DIY Cutting Board

See that gorgeous cutting board in the photo above? My son made that for me as a Christmas gift. He used several different types of wood and it’s one-of-a-kind! 

He even put my name on it for me! How sweet is that?
