Pumpkin Quick Bread with Apples and Pecan Streusel Recipe

I enjoy using the convenient and delicious cake, bread, and muffin mixes from Pillsbury. I can create homemade desserts and bakery for my family in just minutes. Over the years, I’ve learned to make a recipe my own by customizing these boxed mixes with additional ingredients. Pillsbury allows me to spend less time in the kitchen so I can be with my family and celebrate more of the season and holiday with them.

For this Pumpkin Quick Bread with Apples and Pecan Streusel Recipe, I added just one crunchy, tart green apple to a boxed Pillsbury Pumpkin Quick Bread mix to totally transform the traditional pumpkin bread recipe into something new and delicious.  The flavor combination is perfect, the apples are tender and add a bit of sweet and tart at the same time.

I also enjoy adding nuts to bread recipes, so I added a crunchy, nutty pecan streusel to create the ultimate pumpkin bread. If you don’t care for pecans, walnuts would taste great too.

This is an easy recipe that will make your family and friends think you spent hours preparing instead of just minutes. The secret is using Pillsbury Quick Bread Mix as your lead ingredient – it saves a ton of time and makes this a quick, easy, and delicious bread that you can make anytime.

Prep time is just about 15 minutes, giving you extra time this Fall season to celebrate more with your family and spend less time in the kitchen.
