Dutch Apple Pie Bread

It all started when I ended up with more apples than I knew what to do with. I made apple butter, apple sauce, apple pie filling and after spending countless hours in the kitchen I couldn’t seem to bake, cook or can myself out of apples. While pondering ways to make them disappear I thought “how about some apple bread?” I knew I could freeze the loaves and we could enjoy them all fall. I quickly set out to find a recipe searching Pinterest and Google only to be let down time and time and time again. Every recipe was too fattening with at least half a stick of butter or a whole cup of oil in each loaf. Others were too cake like, (I wanted a true sweet bread.) so I rolled up my sleeves and started baking

Instructions

• Mix brown sugar, egg, oil, apple sauce, cinnamon and vanilla until blended.
• Stir in buttermilk.
• Combine flour, salt and baking soda and slowly pour into wet ingredients.
• Fold in apples to mixture gently until combined.
• Pour into greased loaf pan(s).
• Combine crumb topping ingredients, cut together and sprinkle on top. The recipe makes plenty so feel free to use as much or as little as you like.
• Bake at 350 until set in the middle and golden brown. A large loaf pan takes about 1 hour and muffins approx 12-15 minutes.

Notes

* This recipe makes one very full large pan (make sure you get the middle done) or you can do two smaller loaf pans instead. I like to do one large loaf pan and 5-6 muffins so I can make sure my loaf gets properly baked in the middle.
