This is so delicious you won't be able to stop eating it. I have made this several times and each time I keep getting requests for the recipe. The cake is so moist without oil or butter in the batter. Enjoy!

Beat sour cream and next 4 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until blended. 3. Stir together flour and next 7 ingredients. Add to sour cream mixture, beating just until blended. Stir in apples and ½ cup of toasted pecans. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 9 x 5 loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup chopped pecans, lightly press pecans into batter. 4. Bake at 350 degrees for approx 1 hr or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.
