Best Washington Apple Bread With Streusel Topping Recipes

APPLE STREUSEL BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter and flour 9×5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, toss apples with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, apple pie spice and walnuts. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter then add 2/3 cup granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about one minute.
• With mixer running, add one egg at a time and mix. Scrape bowl and mix for one minute on medium until slightly pale in color.
• Add vanilla and mix to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix flour with baking powder and baking soda.
• With mixer running, alternate adding flour mixture and sour cream. Mix just to combine but do not over mix.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread to the sides. Add half the apple mixture but pat and poke the apples down into the batter. Sprinkle with half the sugar mixture.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter, apples and sugar mixture, patting the apples into the batter before topping with the last of the sugar mixture.
• Bake on center rack of oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. (When checking for doneness insert toothpick into center of bread, making sure your tooth pick is going into batter and not an apple to get a true test for doneness. Ours took exactly 60 minutes.)
• While cake is baking, prepare glaze by combining brown sugar, butter and cream in a small sauce pan. Heat to a boil and simmer on medium low for two minutes without stirring.
• Remove from heat and sift in the powdered sugar while you whip. If it lumps, just pass through a small sieve. Let it sit at least ten minutes.
• Once cake is out of the oven, cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes.
• Loosen sides and flip out of pan and onto the cooling rack, then place the rack over a sheet pan.
• Drizzle the glaze over the top and let it melt into the warm cake.
• Serve warm or cool completely.

APPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with baking spray. Set aside.
• Spread the walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until toasted and fragrant, about 8 to 12 minutes, stirring once throughout. DO NOT WALK AWAY during the last few minutes and set a timer. Nuts love to burn the very moment you stop watching. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, canola oil, milk, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredient all at once. Mix in by hand just until combined. The batter will look very thick and stiff.
• Fold in the apples and walnuts. It will be hard to do because the batter is so thick. Use a rubber spatula and smush and push it around gently but firmly as needed. Distribute the apples and walnuts as evenly as you can.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. With the back of a rubber spatula, press and smooth the top so it is mostly flat. For the cinnamon sugar topping, stir the cinnamon and coarse sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
• Bake for 25 minutes, loosely tent with foil, then bake for 20 additional minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean without any wet batter clinging to it.* Place on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

• Mix sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the streusel. Cut in butter until little pea-sized balls come together. Place 1/2 of the streusel on the bottom of the pan. Pour in batter; top with remaining streusel.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
