The loaf itself is moist and fluffy, made from a rich batter that includes fresh apples, which add natural sweetness and a hint of tartness. The crumble topping, a mix of flour, brown sugar, butter, and optional oats, creates a satisfying crunch that contrasts perfectly with the soft interior. Spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, this loaf exudes warmth and comfort, making it an ideal choice for cozy afternoons or as a delightful dessert. Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream, and enjoy a slice of this comforting classic.
