When I first found this recipe for Apple Pie Bread I almost passed it by. Visions of a dry bread that tasted little of apple went through my mind. But after reading the ingredients list, I quickly realized this was a quick bread, similar to banana bread, but loaded with juicy apples and crunchy nuts instead of banana. Plus, it has a crunchy streusel-nut topping, that takes it to a whole other level of goodness.
If you like apple pie, you'll love this bread! It smells and taste just like apple pie, and smells so good while it is baking. It's the perfect Fall treat. So chop up some of those apples that so many of us have in our kitchens from apple picking trips to the orchard, and make this moist and delicious bread. It's well worth the effort.

1/2 cup butter, softened

Add the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add flour, baking soda, apple pie spice and salt, and beat until everything is well combined.
Toss the apples and nuts in a little bit of flour, a couple of tablespoons should do, and add them to the batter.
Hand stir the nuts and apples into the batter.
Spoon batter into the prepared pan and spread the top down evenly.
To prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl add the brown sugar, cinnamon and flour and stir to combine.
Add the butter and Using a pastry blender or fork, cut it into the brown sugar mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Move pan to a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and allow to cool completely on the wire rack.
