Crumb Apple Zucchini Bread
Description
Crumb Apple Zucchini Bread begins by sautéing chopped apples with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon until softened and aromatic. Meanwhile, a batter is prepared by mixing flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon with oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla. After patting excess moisture from the grated zucchini, it and the cooled apple mixture are folded into the batter.
The loaf is poured into a greased pan and finished with a crumb topping made of cinnamon, flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter cut in until coarse crumbs form. Baking yields a moist, tender bread characterized by the mild earthiness of zucchini and sweet cinnamon apples, contrasted by a crunchy topping.
This bread makes a great snack or breakfast bread, providing a satisfying texture from the crumb layer and balanced flavors from the fruit and spices.
Ingredients
Bread
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup zucchini grated
Apples
- 1 cup apple chopped
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Crumb Topping
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 6 Tbsp butter cold, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 bread pan. Set aside.
Apples
- In a small saucepan over med-low heat, cook chopped apples with 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, 1 Tbsp butter, and 1 tsp of cinnamon, for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until apples have begun to soften. Pull off heat and allow to cool.
Bread
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a another bowl, mix oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
- Making a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Add in grated zucchini (zucchini is a very wet vegetable, so try to pat off as much excess water as possible with a paper towel before adding to the batter) and cooled apples. Fold into the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared bread pan.
Crumb Topping
- Combine cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter, and mix until the topping looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle coating evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean (My oven took exactly 55 minutes; around the 40-minute mark, I usually cover the bread with a piece of foil to keep the top from browning too much).
- Allow bread to cool before removing from pan.
- Enjoy!
