Dutch Apple Bread is made from scratch with butter, sugar and fresh apples. This apple quick bread recipe has amazing flavors and is topped with a cinnamon streusel and drizzled with warm vanilla glaze.

THE BEST APPLE BREAD

This Dutch Apple Bread is something I love any time of the day. I have at least 4 recipes I have written already that are similar but I have to say, this one is my favorite! This apple bread has the best aroma and an almost pound cake like texture- you will not be able to stop eating it. I love how easy it is to make as well!

CAN YOU FREEZE APPLE BREAD?

Yes, you can freeze this Dutch Apple Bread as long as you securely wrap it and store in an airtight container. I like to wrap mine in foil then store in a freezer Ziplocked bag. Be sure to eat it within 1-2 months! Also, do not add the glaze until after you have thawed it.

DUTCH APPLE BREAD RECIPE INGREDIENTS

FOR THE BREAD, YOU WILL NEED:

-Butter: We use ½ cup softened butter, which is 1 stick. I usually use salted butter, but use what you have on hand!

-Sugar: You need 1 cup of granulated sugar to make this bread nice and sweet.

-Eggs: Just 2 large eggs is all you need to help bind this bread together well.

-Milk: You will need ½ cup milk for the batter. Dairy milk or almond milk works best. I do not recommend using soy milk.

-Vanilla: Using 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to help enhance the flavors in this bread.

-Flour: Use 2 cups of all-purpose flour for the base of this bread dough.

-Salt: You will need ½ teaspoon of salt to help enhance the flavors in the bread.

-Baking powder: You need 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help the bread rise and leaven properly.

-Apple: You need 1 ½ cups diced peeled green apple (you can also use a HoneyCrisp apple, Fuji, or similar!)

-Nuts: Using ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans will add a fantastic crunch to the bread.

FOR THE TOPPING, YOU WILL NEED:

-Butter: You will need 5 tablespoons of cold butter. This will help to give the crumbly texture we want.

-Flour: Using ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour is needed for the topping to turn out just right.

-Sugars: Use 2 tablespoons each of granulated sugar and brown sugar to make the topping sweet.

-Cinnamon: 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon will give the topping a nice warm flavor.

FOR THE GLAZE, YOU WILL NEED:

-Butter: Use 1 tablespoon of melted butter to make the glaze taste nice and rich.

-Powdered sugar: You need ½ cup of powdered sugar to make the glaze smooth and sweet.

-Milk: You will need 1 tablespoon of milk to get the glaze to the right consistency.

-Vanilla: Use ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to help enhance the flavors in the icing.

HOW TO MAKE DUTCH APPLE BREAD

PREP

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Then, line a bread pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray. I use a 10″ bread pan but this recipe works in standard 8″ loaf pans as well. The baked bread will just be taller.

Chop apples into small square pieces, set aside.
