Notes
A standard 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan is recommended for this recipe.
Overmixing could cause the bread to sink in when baking; be sure to just mix until your ingredients are combined.
A great substitution for apple pie spice would be 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon plus 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
If you notice that your bread is getting really brown on top but not done baking yet, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top and let it finish baking covered.
The streusel topping really does take this recipe over the top and make it the perfect fall treat. You are going to love this bread!
Allow the bread to cool in pan before inverting and removing. Run a butter knife down along all edges before doing this to prevent it from sticking.
