Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• For streusel topping:
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
6. Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.
9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
12. Enjoy the delicious apple pie bread with a cup of coffee or tea!
