Apple Bread

2 c. apples, peeled and chopped
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. sugar

Topping:
1/4 c. + 2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Grease and flour loaf pan.
3. Peel, core and slice apples (1-inch chunks).
4. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat eggs until fluffy. Add the oil and beat until combined.
5. Add vanilla, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
6. Next add the flour and sugar and mix on low just to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat until smooth. The batter will be very thick.
7. Fold in the chopped apples, mixing by hand so the apples do not get broken up.
8. Spoon the batter into the loaf pan.
9. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut the butter into this mixture with a fork until moist and crumbly. Sprinkle topping on loaf.
10. Bake for about 1 hour. Place on cooling rack for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

NOTE: It is easier to slice the bread if you wait until it is cool.
