Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

Butter and flour to prepare 9×5-inch loaf pan
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, divided
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced (we used Braeburn)
1 tablespoon plus 2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
½ cup walnuts, chopped small
½ cup butter (8 tablespoons)
2 eggs
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

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 WITH DOUBLE STREUSEL

Apple Bread with Double Streusel image

One of the most delicious apple breads I have ever tasted. It is so unique because it has streusel on both the top and the bottom. The apples are shredded, which makes the bread very moist. Be prepared because everyone will ask you for the recipe!

Tips:

To measure flour correctly, use a kitchen scale or spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a 9x13 inch pan. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake the bread for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For a streusel topping that is extra crispy and crunchy, use cold butter.
If you want a more moist bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk or yogurt to the batter.
For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
If you want a bread with more apple flavor, add an extra 1 cup of chopped apples to the batter.
Be sure to use ripe, firm apples for the best flavor.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
