At LAST!!

My Apple Bread recipe!! Sorry for the very long delay... Now that you have eaten all of your apples from apple picking season, I will finally share..

BREAD
2 med Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

STREUSEL
4 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp sugar
Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan. Cream butter and sugar. Stir in eggs, lemon juice and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.. do not overmix. Peel, core and chop apples. Add to mixture. For streusel, combine ingredients in bowl. Spoon half of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture. Spread with remaining batter. Top with remaining streusel mixture; gently press into batter. Bake 55-60 minutes (always takes a bit longer with my baking stone. Just keep inserting the cake tester to check it..) or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove to cooling rack. ENJOY! MMMMMMMMm good! (PS.. this recipe is from Pampered Chef, and the original had the streusel recipe cut in half.. or should I say that I doubled their streusel recipe. After all, can you really ever have too much streusel???)
Wish I had a nice, yummy picture to share, but I didn't own my camera the last time I made this... which was only a month ago for the Festival of Leaves..... I did mini loaves, and my kids downed a loaf straight out of the oven. We all love it.
