Apple Loaf Cake

I’m really into loaf cakes.  For one, they are usually very easy to make (I think this one took me 15 minutes plus 1 hour 20 minute cooking) and secondly they taste fantastic!

I bought a couple of granny smith apples for another recipe I realized I was not going to make so though I’d go for it and try them in a loaf cake.  This isn’t my first foray into cooking with apples and you can find my recipes for apple muffins, easiest apple butter and apple cake.

Apple Loaf Cake Dry Ingredients

I chose this recipe because of the secret bonus streusel later, and the fact that it used two apples which was the amount I had on hand.  It is a bit sweet, so if you wanted you could cut the streusel in half.  If you wanted…  I converted the entire recipes into weight as I find it SO MUCH EASIER to bake with weight than measuring cups.  Mom – you’re just going to have to get on board with that!

Enjoy!
