Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 5 bread pan or 4 mini loaf pans with nonstick spray; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla, and apples and mix on low speed until smooth. I used my shredder attachment on my mixer to shred the apples. They were pretty mushy, but since it's getting baked into a bread, I don't think it matters.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture on low speed until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon on low speed. With the mixer on low speed, add little pieces of the butter and mix until blended. Add the walnuts and stir well. Sprinkle the streusel over the bread batter evenly.

Bake for 60 - 70 minutes for large loaf and 30-35 minutes for mini loaves (until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean). Let stand for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
