How to Make Applesauce Pecan Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 3/4 cup pecan halves.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and remaining pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  8. 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.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
