Description
A comforting loaf combining pumpkin and apple, enriched with spices and topped with a crunchy streusel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Diced apple (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Milk
- For the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Cold butter (cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
- Begin with the streusel: in a small bowl, blend the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside to chill.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and milk, mixing until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently to incorporate.
- Gently stir in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top evenly with the streusel mixture.
- Bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Best served warm with butter or honey. Consider adding nuts or dried cranberries for variations.
