Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and slightly glossy.

Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so stop as soon as the batter comes together.

Step 7: Fold in the Apples

Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.

Step 8: Assemble the Loaf

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the chilled cinnamon streusel generously over the top, pressing it lightly so it adheres during baking.

Step 9: Bake to Perfection

Place the loaf in the center of the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the final 10–15 minutes.

Step 10: Cool and Slice

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps the loaf set and makes slicing easier.

Serving Suggestions
