Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.

  2. Combine apples, 4 tablespoons butter, honey, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.

  3. While apples are simmering, sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

  4. Combine remaining 8 tablespoons butter, remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beat until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract.

  5. Discard cinnamon stick and mash cooked apples. Add mashed apples and pecans to the batter. Use a rubber spatula to mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.

Recipe Note

A delicious buttery loaf. This recipe is basically an apple-cinnamon version of classic banana bread, plus pecans.
