Dixie Crystals Sugar, Taylor & Colledge Extracts and Millican Pecans
These are three of the sponsored products I used in making the quick bread.
The apple pecan loaf is not quite as dense or heavy as some apple breads. Which can be overly moist. I wanted this bread to have a stupendous amount of pecans in them. So I used both the meal and the chopped ones on top.
The color is interesting because it almost looks like I added molasses. Which is a yummy idea, but I did not. That has to be all coming from spice and the color using pecan meal adds.
If you don’t have any pecan meal, you can make your own by pulsing pecans in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Just don’t overdo it or you will end up with pecan butter.
