Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Melt the butter.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and the sugars. Give it a quick mix to combine and add the apple sauce. Stir through.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and using a whisk, gently incorporate them into the wet mixture.
- Add the baking powder, a teaspoon of sea salt, and half of the flour. Continue using the whisk to gently mix to combine.
- Add half of the buttermilk, then the remaining flour, then the remaining buttermilk, stirring through after each addition.
- Add the chopped pecans and gently fold in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
- In a small separate bowl, combine the crumble dry ingredients. Give it a quick mix with a fork.
- Add the melted butter and, using the fork, combine until mixed through and you get a crumble consistency.
- Crumble the crumb topping on top of the batter in the loaf pan and pop into the preheated oven for 55 minutes.
- The loaf is cooked when a cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.
Notes
- I cool this easy applesauce bread recipe in my 21cm x 11cm loaf pan, greased with butter and lined with parchment paper.
- When mixing each ingredient into the batter, be sure to gently mix until just combined and no more. To get a nice, dense moist quick bread, we want to incorporate as little air into the mixture as possible.
