Apple Cinnamon Bread AKA Apple Pie Bread

Great for breakfast, snack, or dessert, apple cinnamon bread is a family favorite that will fill your home with the sweet and spicy aroma of fall. The best part is the topping, which is made of chopped organic Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, and pecans.

How to Make Perfect Apple Cinnamon Bread

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan with butter and set aside.

Step 2. Prepare the crumble. Mix cold butter with sugar with a fork. Add cinnamon and flour, using your hands to crumble up the texture. Add chopped pecans or a nut of your choice and combine. Set crumble aside.

Step 3. Mix wet and sugar ingredients. Beat the eggs and mix them with oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Next, add white and brown sugar, and combine.

Step 4. Add dry ingredients. Mix all-purpose flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Then, combine dry ingredients with wet ones.

Step 5. Fold in diced apples and stir.

Step 6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Spread the prepared crumble on top. Bake it for 60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Pro Tip: After you pour the mixture into the greased bread pan, gently shake the mixture to the sides and tap it on the countertop. This will help release any air pockets and ensure a more even bake.
