Apple Pie Bread with Streusel Topping

This Apple Pie Bread with Streusel Topping combines grated fresh apples into a spiced batter enhanced by cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, topped with a buttery streusel crisp. The bread bakes as a moist, tender loaf featuring a crumbly, textured topping that adds a balance of sweetness and spice. It works well as a breakfast treat or an afternoon snack when you want something hearty and warmly spiced.

Bread
  • 1 egg large
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ⅓ cup canola oil vegetable, or liquid-state coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream use varieties with fat in them, or Greek yogurt, cup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg or to taste
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9x5-inch loaf pan very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pans; set aside.
  2. Crumble Topping - To a medium bowl, add the melted butter, 1/3 cup flour, sugars, cinnamon salt, and fluff very lightly with a fork to combine until small marbles and pebbles form. Tip - You are not ‘stirring’, you are fluffing lightly and gently. If the topping is very wet and is not fluffing into small pebbles and marbles and is more like wet sand, add additional flour up to 1/2 cup total, or as necessary, to create a streusel; set aside.
  3. Bread - To a large bowl, add egg, brown sugar, oil, granulated sugar, sour cream or Greek yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and whisk to combine.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don’t overmix.
  5. Add the grated apples (you don't need to wring them out like you would with zucchini), and fold gently to combine.
  6. Turn the batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  7. Evenly sprinkle with the reserved crumble topping.
  8. Bake for about 45 to 52 minutes (I baked 48 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Tips - I recommend tenting the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 30 to 35-minute mark so the tops and sides don't become too browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of your apples, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don’t worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.
  9. Allow bread to cool in pan for about 30 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  10. Bread will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • The streusel topping should be gently fluffed to small crumbly bits and adjusted with flour if too wet for best texture.
  • Grated apples do not require squeezing out moisture, simplifying the mixing process.
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt in the batter adds tenderness and moistness to the bread crumb.
