Pumpkin Apple Quick Bread

Adapted from: BrannyBoilsOver

Topping:

5 T sugar

1 T all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Tbs unsalted butter, softened

Bread:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

15 oz can solid-pack pumpkin

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 cups sugar

4 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 Granny smith apples, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9" loaf pans. Coarsely grate 2 apples (think zucchini bread). Cream together applesauce, pumpkin, sugar and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in grated apples. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Combine topping ingredients, working butter into mix with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of loaves. Bake for approximately 1 hour, until a skewer or knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for about 15 minutes and then remove from pans and finish cooling on a wire rack.

This bread is great plain or topped with a little apple butter.
