Ingredients for Apple Bread

  • Sugar- The sugar adds sweetness to the bread.
  • Brown sugar- This will allow for a richer flavor.
  • Flour- Use all purpose flour for the best results.
  • Unsalted butter- The unsalted butter will control the amount of salt in your recipe.
  • Baking powder- If you only have self rising flour, you do not need to add the baking powder.
  • Kosher salt– Salt always brings out the flavors in any recipe.
  • Ground cinnamon– Cinnamon and apples go fantastic together.
  • Eggs– The eggs will help with the form of your bread.
  • Milk- You are able to use whole or 2% milk.
  • Pure vanilla– For best flavoring always use pure vanilla.
  • Granny smith apples– Always best to have your apples peeled and chopped.

How to Make Apple Crumb Bread

Combine the sugar, brown sugar, and flour into a medium mixing bowl until combined, then stir in the melted butter until combined and it starts to clump together.

Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with Pam and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk together the sugar, eggs, and melted butter in another larger mixing bowl until well combined, then pour in the milk and vanilla and whisk until combined. After that is mixed well, add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Gently fold in the chopped apples and take the batter and scoop it into the loaf pan.

Then take your crumbs and sprinkle on the batter, then press it lightly into the batter,

For 45-55 minutes bake your ingredients, or until a toothpick tester in the center of the loaf comes out clean, then remove and allow to cool thoroughly in the pan.

Serve and Dig In!
