How to Make Applesauce Pecan Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup milk. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 3/4 cup pecan halves.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and remaining pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 60 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
