DUTCH APPLE BREAD

  This recipe is from a very old Southern Indiana rural electric co-op newsletter.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup peeled chopped apples
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Topping:
1/3 cup flour
2 tbsps sugar
2 tbsps brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsps butter

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat eggs and vanilla into the creamed mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Fold in the apples and nuts. Pour into a greased 9-inch by 5-inch by 3-inch loaf pan. For the topping, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well. Cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

I am always excited when I come across an old handwritten recipe of my late mother's. She has been gone over 10 years and couldn't write for almost 2 years prior to her death.  Finding this today made my day!
