Apple Bread

My friend, Patty Urbanski, made this while I was visiting her. I loved it so much that I chose to have it for breakfast every morning that I was there and made it the day after I got home from the trip. It might start out as a typical apple bread, but the topping sets this one apart. She keeps it in the refrigerator and while she always warmed her piece up in the microwave, I ate mine cold. It is so nice that it makes 2 loaves since hubby doesn't frown when you take one of the loaves to a friend.
