How to Make Buttery Apple Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Make the strudel topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, nuts, and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Set aside 1/2 cup of the strudel topping.
  4. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with a fork.
  5. Stir in melted butter and milk.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Layer half of the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Top with half of the apples and half of the remaining strudel topping. Repeat layers.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of strudel topping evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
