Apple Crumble Loaf.

Ingredients:

For the Loaf:

• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 2 large apples, a combination of diced and grated

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4-6 tablespoons butter, slightly melted
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Loaf Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
   • In another bowl, beat the egg. Add milk and melted butter to the egg, whisking until just combined.
   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just moistened.
   • Gently fold in the grated and diced apples.
3. Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, slightly melted butter, and cinnamon using a fork. Mix until the ingredients come together in a crumbly texture. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Assemble the Loaf: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the crumble topping over this layer. Pour in the remaining batter and finish with the rest of the crumble topping.
5. Baking: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remember, baking times can vary based on your oven and the pan you’re using, so keep an eye on your loaf!
6. Prepare the Glaze: While the loaf is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth.
7. Final Touch: Once the loaf has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
