2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups peeled, diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

For the Cinnamon Pecan Crunch Topping:

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Sugars and Oil: In another bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Blend in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

          Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples and applesauce, ensuring even distribution.

            Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the pecans are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.

              Assemble: Pour the apple bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top evenly with the cinnamon pecan crunch mixture, ensuring every bite will have a delicious crunch.

                Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool Down: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Slice and serve your Apple Bliss Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the delightful combination of soft apple bread under a crunchy pecan topping!
