Apple Bread

My family's most favorite bread. This one has a crumbly topping that makes it seem almost like dessert - enjoy! (makes 1 loaf)

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• BREAD

• 1⁄2 cup margarine (do not use butter)
• 1  cup sugar
• 2  eggs
• 2  tablespoons buttermilk
• 2  cups flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  cups  chopped apples

• TOPPING

• 3  tablespoons margarine
• 3  tablespoons brown sugar
• 3  tablespoons flour
• 3  tablespoons walnuts (optional!) or 3  tablespoons pecans (optional!)
• 3  teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

1. Beat together all the bread ingredients until well blended. I like to get the apples softened up a bit by beating a few extra minutes.
2. Cut the margarine into the other topping ingredients until you get course crumbs.
3. Pour the bread batter into a greased bread pan. Sprinkle on the topping.
4. Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.
