Apple Bread with Streusel Topping

Recipe From Cooking in Style the Costco Way.

This is the first time I have made apple bread.  It turned out to be excellent and extremely moist.

Ingredients:

Bread

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter (one stick)

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 apples of your choice, peeled and chospped

Streusal Topping

4 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter

4 tables spoons brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare the topping in a small bowl. Cut dry ingredients into butter and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl, slowly beat in eggs, lemon juice and vanilla.  Add the flour mixture and stir until moistened.  Fold apple pieces into bread batter.

Place half of mixture into a greased 9 x 5" loaf pan.  Sprinkle half of topping.  Spoon remaining batter in pan, top with the rest of the topping.  

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
