It's apple season, everyone! We went apple picking two weekends ago and we had such a blast! We got way too many apples and I ate more apple cider donuts than I should have. Is there ever a time when there are too many freshly fried, cinnamon sugar-coated apple cider donuts? Gimmmeeeee. I will add some photostat the end of the post but before I do, let's talk about this apple cinnamon streusel bread. OMG. Holy soft and delicious. This bread is moist, tender, flavorful and so, so, sooooo good. It's chock full of warm fuzzy spices and you get tender, sweet apples in every bite!

This bread has three parts: batter + cinnamon sugar filling + streusel topping. The batter comes together in one bowl, and the streusel gets mixed up real quick in another bowl. The cinnamon sugar is simply stirred together and is sandwiched between layers of batter and the streusel is sprinkled on top. Ohhh, how I love cinnamon sugar. I'd like to coat everything I make in it, please.

Ingredients

1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 tbs granulated sugar

Topping

½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
½ tbs all-purpose flour
2 tbs light brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 tbs unsalted butter softened

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan very well.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and spices. Make a well in the center and add eggs, vanilla, applesauce, oil and milk. Beat until combined. Fold in chopped apples by hand.
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar for the filling. In another bowl, whisk oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until evenly distributed.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. Top with remaining batter and sprinkle streusel topping on top in an even layer.
