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. Shield with aluminum foil after 50 min. to prevent excessive browning. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 min. 5.
