Apple Bread with Streusel Topping

The Story:

I grew up in a very strange neighborhood.  Every girl had a shelf lined with American Girl Dolls in her room and every boy had posters and memorabilia signed by celebrities and famous athletes on their wall.  Party favors consisted of jewelry and gift cards instead of candy and dollar store trinkets. And after a sleepover on silk sheets we never ate cereal.  We always walked downstairs to find Starbucks drinks and a big slice of Starbucks bread on the counter.

We were 10.

It’s pretty ridiculous looking back at it all now.  For the record I did not own an American Girl Doll and the closest thing I had to a celebrity’s signature was a camp T-shirt signed by the PSU soccer players.  Our pantry was stocked to the brim with cereal and jam and that’s the way I liked.  Even now, cereal is the best breakfast around.

    My favorite doughnuts are buttermilk bars! I know they aren’t shaped like most, but they are definitely a staple in most pink boxes I see… 😉

    Well, someone has to mention “beignets” and since I grew up in N’awlins and drink “cafe au lait” every morning, those are my favorite donut. I even hold down the carbs by not using the confectioners’ sugar on the outside!

      Beignets are my favorite too! Since leaving New Orleans about 20 years ago and moving to Chicago the only time I get beignets are when I make them or when I take trips to visit family back home. Luckily I can find CDM coffee and chicory at a store not too far from where I live.

    Must be the time of year. Me, like many others I read, love apple cider in the fall. Those donuts sound best.

    I made this apple streusel bread and it was so yummy! The middle of it fell though, I am thinking it was too wet from the apples!! They were fresh picked Honeycrisp from my mother in laws tree!! When I shredded the apples there was a puddle of juice under the apple mound! The flavor was awesome though!!

    I love boston cream, but for Halloween, there is a seasonal donut at Dunkin Donuts called Boston SCREAM. How clever is that? 😀

    Hi Lizzy! I recently stumbled across your recipes and love your ideas! I have Celiac Disease so I am working to make Gluten Free versions of your recipes 🙂 I was wondering if you have any recommendation for what type of apples to use in this bread? Or will any apple do? Thank you!
