Dutch Apple Bread Recipe Baked in 1 Hour 20 Min

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted unsalted butter), 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Gently fold the spiced apples into the batter.
6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cold diced unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. To make the optional vanilla glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread before serving.
