Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with Crisco or Pam (whatever you have works).
2

In a large bowl, beat butter (1/2 cup) until fluffy; add sugar and mix well. Then add milk and baking powder, again mixing well. Add eggs and vanilla; you guessed it, mixing well after this addition too. Add the flour and salt and beat well. Stir in apples and nuts. Spoon batter into pan and spread evenly.
3

Then make the topping - combine butter (2 tablespoons), flour (3 tablespoons) and brown sugar (1/4 cup) and the rest of the nuts, mixing well until crumbly. Then sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
4

Put in oven, for 1 hour or until done. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes or so and then remove from the pan. Cool completely, wrap and store overnight BEFORE slicing. (It's seriously hard to wait, but does make a difference on the texture. Trust me!)

I have added cranberries (1/2 to 3/4 c), or raisins (1/2 to 3/4 c) and it has been divine!. I have also put a thin glaze on top of it which can make your fat cells sing a chorus so amazing that American Idol calls you and asks you to be the next contestant.
