Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples, preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

          Incorporate Sour Cream: Blend in the sour cream until smooth.

            Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

              Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

                Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. This will create your cinnamon pecan crunch topping.

                  Transfer to the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon pecan crunch topping evenly over the batter, gently pressing it down.

                    Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                      Cool Before Serving: Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                        Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve it as a delightful breakfast or snack option. Enjoy the aromatic blend of cinnamon and sweet apples with a satisfying crunch from the pecans!
