what you’ll need for this recipe

Flour – Flour is the base of this recipe. I used 3 cups of all purpose flour, but you can feel free to substitute another type of flour. When substituting, be sure to follow substitution instructions.

Sugar – I used 1 cup of granulated sugar to sweeten this bread. A combination of granulated and brown sugar would also be delicious.

Baking powder & baking soda – I used both baking powder (1 Tablespoon) and baking soda (1/4 teaspoon) as leavening agents in this recipe.

Salt – Salt brings out the sweetness of the apples. I used 1/2 teaspoon of table salt.

Egg – 1 egg gives this bread just a bit of lightness and helps to bind all the ingredients together.

Milk – For the liquid I added 1 2/3 cup milk. I used 2% but you can use whatever type you have on hand.

Oil – 1/4 cup of oil makes this bread nice and moist. I used canola oil, but you can use whatever type of oil you prefer for baking.

Apples – I used a combination of Gala and Granny Smith apples in this bread. I like using a combo for balance and variety, but you can use any type of apples you have on hand.

Streusel – I topped the bread with a simple homemade streusel made of flour, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. If you like oats in your streusel feel free to toss some in!

Glaze – Finally, I drizzled a cinnamon glaze made of powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon over the top of the bread once it was baked and cooled.

how to make apple pie bread

Combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Add the wet ingredients. In a medium mixing old combine egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to dry mixture. Stir just until moistened.

Stir in the apples. Add chopped, peeled apples (I used Gala and Granny Smith) and cinnamon. Spoon 1/2 of batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.

Make the streusel topping. Prepare streusel by combining flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Use a fork to blend until mixture resembles large crumbs. Sprinkle half of streusel over the first 1/2 of batter; add remaining batter and sprinkle remaining streusel over the top.

Bake. Bake at 350° for 60-75 minutes, until bread is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack; remove loaf from pan and cool completely.

Glaze. Prepare cinnamon glaze and drizzle over cooled bread.
