Blue Ribbon Recipe

Wow, this simple praline apple bread is amazing. It's a little different from most quick bread recipes we've made and does not depend on spices to provide flavor. Also, there's no oil - sour cream makes this bread nice and tender. The bread itself is not overly sweet and there's a lovely bit of apple in every bite. What makes this special is the praline topping. Slightly crunchy and so good, it adds so much flavor to the bread. Perfect for a light dessert, breakfast or even an afternoon snack.
