super soft, bursting with tender apples and crunchy walnuts then topped with a sweetened streusel.
Is there anything better than the flavor of apple pie baked into a quick bread that’s topped with a sweet, crunch streusel??
If you said no, then I’m right there with you!
I went to revamp a previous apple bread recipe that I had and ultimately ended up changing enough of it that I felt like this one deserved a post all of it’s own.
If you make it, I think you’ll agree.
It’s super tender, filled with chunky apples and topped with my favorite streusel recipe (because #everythingsbetterwithstreusel).
It comes together pretty quickly and it makes your entire house smell just amazing.
But don’t take my word for it! Try it and see for yourself if you agree.
No matter what you think, make sure to leave a review. Yes, even if it didn’t work out great for you! It helps me make my recipes better for everyone when you let me know how they worked for you 🙂

Description
super soft, bursting with tender apples and crunchy walnuts then topped with a sweetened streusel.
Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 1 cup butter, room temperature or softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk, any kind (I used soymilk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups apple, peeled & diced (about 2 small – medium apples)
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
For the Streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oatmeal
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon crushed walnuts
- 4 tablespoons room temperature butter
Instructions
For the Streusel:
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and gently massage with your fingers or a wooden spoon until a cohesive crumb forms. Set aside.
For the Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer or stand mixer until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Combine soymilk and vanilla together and add into the mixture.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, apple pie spice and cinnamon. Stir well to combine. Toss apples in and gently fold until apples are coated with dry mixture.
- Add dry mixture with apples to wet and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in chopped nuts.
- Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Top with streusel and gently press down into the batter to ensure it adheres during baking.
- Bake for 60 – 65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean or with just a few wet crumbs.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Bread will keep in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months (I recommend wrapping individual slices in plastic wrap and storing all together in a ziploc before freezing).
