There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh apple fritter bread baking in the oven on a chilly autumn morning. This beautiful apple bread with streusel is begging for you to enjoy a slice. The crispy sugary streusel topping contrasts beautifully with the moist apple bread beneath.
As a delicious fall recipe, this quick apple bread is a cross between a coffee cake and an apple pie. There is a cinnamon sugar and butter streusel layer on top of the bread, and it is baked with chopped apples inside.
The streusel topping is made with warm apple spices, brown sugar, and chopped pecans to give this apple bread a nice bite.
