Ingredients

  • Apple Pie Filling
    1 can
  • pecans
    ½ c
  • 1lb loaf of French or Italian Bread
    1
  • butter

    softened

    1 c
  • pure vanilla extract
    1 tbsp
  • brown sugar

    light or dark

    ¾ c
  • ground allspice
    ¼ tsp
  • ground cinnamon
    4 tsp
  • ground nutmeg
    ¼ tsp
  • powdered sugar
    1 c
  • heavy cream
    4 tbsp
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the bread in half lengthwise (horizontally) and place the halves side by side on the prepared baking sheet. Whisk together the softened butter, vanilla, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until smooth and fully combined. Spread the mixture evenly over both bread halves, making sure to cover from end to end. Next, spread the pie filling over each piece of bread (I like to cut the apples up before spreading, but you don't have to). Sprinkle pecans on top.

  2. 2

    Bake for 25 minutes, then let the bread cool slightly and top with glaze.

Glaze directions

  1. 1

    For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until the sugar is fully dissolved. Drizzle the glaze over bread. Carefully slice into 1-inch pieces and serve with extra glaze on the side if desired.

Tips for Perfect Apple Pie French Bread

  • Choose Your Bread Wisely: A day-old loaf of French or Italian bread works wonderfully as it's slightly firmer and absorbs the buttery mixture beautifully without becoming soggy.
  • Nutty Alternatives: Not a fan of pecans? Feel free to swap them out for walnuts, slivered almonds, or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
  • Spice It Up: Adjust the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to your liking. A pinch of ground cloves could also be a lovely addition for an even deeper autumnal flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: While incredible on its own, serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a side of maple syrup for an extra decadent experience. It’s truly versatile, making it ideal for brunch, a cozy afternoon snack, or a delightful after-dinner treat.

This Apple Pie French Bread is designed for maximum flavor with minimal effort, ensuring you can enjoy a slice of happiness anytime you wish.
