How to Make Apple Cherry Pie Loaves

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour six mini loaf pans (6x3x2 inches).
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
5. Whisk into the egg mixture 1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
7. Stir in 1 cup dried cherries.
8. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared mini loaf pans.
9. For the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
10. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup chopped apples.
11. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter in the pans.
12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
13. Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting onto the rack to cool completely.
