    I got the idea for a maple bread from Williams-Sonoma, however their recipes are usually too bland for my tastes, so I experimented a bit and am pleased with the results. The only thing I would have done differently is run the apples through a food processor or chopped more finely than I did.

    Ingredients

    • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
    • 4 tsp baking powder
    • 2 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 12 Tbs (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp.
    • 1 cup pure maple syrup
    • 2 cups light sour cream
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp nutmeg
    • 1/2 tsp allspice
    • 4 cups (about 4 count) Braeburn apples, very finely chopped
    • 1 cup pecans, chopped

    Directions

    1. # Preheat oven to 350F; grease two loaf pans with baking spray; move racks to middle of oven.
    2. # In a medium bowl, using a whisk combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and allspice until well blended and free of clumps. Stir in the chopped pecans.
    3. # Using the whisk attachment with an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth; slowly add the syrup, whisking constantly until well combined.
    4. # Whisk in the sour cream and egg; scraping down the sides and continuing to whisk on medium speed for about two minutes.
    5. # Fold in the apples; add the flour mixture and stir just until blended.
    6. # Note: the batter will be thick and heavy.
    7. # Spoon into the prepared pans and bake for approx 50 minutes or until done - Do not over bake!
    8. # Cool on racks for 20 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely before storing.
    9. Allergy Warning: this posted recipe contains eggs, dairy and nuts.
