Instructions
 

Making the Apple Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper


  • Chop apples and nuts into bite-size pieces and set aside


  • Mix dry ingredients together (2 cups flour, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking powder) and set aside
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or a stand mixer, cream together 1 stick of room-temperature butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar.


  • The mixture should look pale and fluffy. Scrape the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.


  • Beat in the room temperature eggs, ½ cup of milk, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until everything is well combined


  • Fold in the dry ingredients carefully using a spatula. Do not overmix! Over-mixing can create a dense loaf


  • Mix in the chopped apples and nuts, until everything is evenly incorporated


  • Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan


  • Sprinkle the Dutch Crumble evenly on top.


  • Bake in the oven at 350 F for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
  • Let it cool before adding your glaze

Dutch Crumble Topping:

  • Cube 5 tbsp of cold butter and combine with 2 tbsp of granulated and brown sugar, ⅓ cup of flour, and 2 tsp of ground cinnamon


  • Add in some pecans or walnuts for extra texture
  • Mix with a butter knife or a pastry cutter enough to create a crumbly sandy texture. You could even use your hands.

Make the Glaze:

  • Melt 1 tbsp of butter and mix with ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 tbsp of milk, and ¼ tsp of vanilla extract


  • Whisk until smooth


  • Drizzle over cooled loaf
