Apple Bread with Praline Topping

1 cup sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups self rising flour
1 1/2 cups apples copped (Granny Smith or any other tart apple)
1 cup chopped pecans

Praline sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a loaf pan with Pam.  Cream together sour cream and brown sugar.  Add eggs one at a time.  Add vanilla.  Add flour one cup at a time.  Fold in the apples and half of the pecans.  Pour into loaf pan.  Sprinkle the other 1/2 cup of nuts on the top and slightly press into batter.  Bake for about an hour or until a pick comes out clean.  In my oven it took about 50 minutes so check yours before the hour is up.
While the bread in baking, mix the 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup of butter in a sauce pan.  Cook over the lowest heat and stir frequently.  It will thicken some but won't get real thick.  When bread is done let it cook slightly then move to a plate pecan side up. Slowly pour the praline topping over the top of the loaf.
