Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. – In a large bowl, beat the 1/2 cup of softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. – Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
5. – In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/3 cup of flour, and cubed 4 tablespoons of butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. – Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top.
7. – Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
– For a more pronounced apple flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apple varieties.
– Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special treat.
– Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
