Who doesn’t like the aroma and flavor of baked apple and cinnamon in streusel?
I have the vegan version of this for you, and loaded it up with fiber. So you can enjoy this hearty bread without guilt!
Ingredients
Streusel topping
- Margarine – 2 tablespoons
- Brown sugar- 2 tablespoons
- All purpose flour- ¼ cup
Bread
- All purpose flour-2/3 cup
- Whole wheat flour- 1 and 1/3 cup
- Margarine – 1 stick (softened)
- Sour soy milk – 2 tablespoons ( I warmed up 2 tablespoons of soy milk and added ½ tsp of lemon juice and set the milk aside to curdle up).
- Sugar – 1 cup
- Baking soda- 1tsp.
- Golden delicious apples – 2 (peeled and chopped finely).
- Walnuts- ¼ cup (roasted)
- Flax seed – 2 tablespoons (I simmered it in 6 tablespoons of water in replacement for 2 eggs).
- Cinnamon powder – ½ tsp.
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
2. In a bowl mix together the streusel topping.
3. In a large bowl cream the margarine and sugar. Mix in the flax seeds. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, sift the flour along with the baking soda and cinnamon powder. Add the sour milk to the batter and stir until combined. Add the margarine, sugar mixture and flaxseed in to the flour and mix gently.
5. Stir in the apples and the walnuts and gently fold into the batter.
6. Spoon the batter in to the pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping and bake it for 50 to 60 minutes.
7. Insert a skewer to check if the cake comes out clean.
8. Allow the bread to cool and remove from the pan.
Variation:
You can use different types of apples – empire, mcintosh, rome, depending on the tart flavor your want. Remember to use apples that have firm texture. Another classic substitution is using blueberries instead of apples.
