Ingredients

  • Baking spray with flour

  • cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

  • 2 large eggs

  • cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon, divided

  • ¾ cup whole-wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, diced (1/4-inch; about 1 cup)

  • ½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts

  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with baking spray.

  2. Stir granulated sugar, yogurt and eggs together in a large bowl until well combined. Add applesauce, vanilla and 6 tablespoons melted butter; stir well to combine and set aside.

  3. Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, apple pie spice and salt in a medium bowl. Add chopped apple and stir until the pieces are evenly coated. Add the flour-apple mixture to the egg mixture; stir until just combined. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. Combine walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and the remaining 1 tablespoon each melted butter and all-purpose flour in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly on the batter in the pan.

  5. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Gently turn out onto a wire rack; let cool completely, about 1 hour.

Tips

To make ahead: The bread will keep, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
