Apple Crumb Pie Loaf Bread

Apple Crumb Pie Loaf Bread

Bread.

• • 4 small/medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 1/3 cups brown sugar

  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk

  • 2/3 cup oil

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves

  • 2/3 cup natural coconut

  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans

Streusel.

• • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter

Preheat the oven to 350 and line two loaf pans with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides.

In a saucepan, cook the apples, water and lemon juice over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the apples are soft. Mash the apples, leaving them slightly chunky.

In a large bowl, whisk together the apples, eggs, sugar, milk, oil and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, just until moistened. Divide the batter between the pans.

For the streusel, use a pastry cutter to combine the flour, sugar and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter. Bake the bread for 45-55 minutes, until a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (If the topping starts to get too brown, you can cover the bread loosely with foil.)

Cool the bread on a wire rack and serve warm.
