Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Toothpick

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter browned and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1 medium pear peeled, cored, and grated
  • ½ cup caramel sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup chopped pecans roasted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper so the bread lifts out easily after baking.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the browned butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then gently mix in the chopped apples and grated pear.
  • Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of caramel sauce over the batter and sprinkle with half of the roasted pecans.
  • Spread the remaining batter on top, then finish with the rest of the pecans.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel before slicing and serving.
