This Streusel Topped Applesauce Bread is soft, moist, and filled with warm cinnamon and apple flavor. A buttery brown sugar and oat streusel adds a sweet, crumbly topping to every slice. This easy quick bread is perfect for breakfast, snacking, or a simple fall treat.
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray two loaf pans (9-inch x 5-inch) with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add granulated sugar, oil, and eggs. Whisk together until combined and smooth. Add the applesauce and buttermilk. Mix together until combined.
Add in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir together with a spatula or spoon just until combined and no flour streaks remain.
Divide batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Fill each loaf pan about halfway with batter.
In a bowl, combine the quick oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the streusel topping together. Microwave the butter for about 15 seconds. You want it to be softened and partially melted. Then mix it into the streusel mixture until it's fully combined. Sprinkle half the mixture over each loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 2 loaves.
