Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 8.5 x 4.5 inch (21x11cm) loaf pan with aluminum foil leaving excess foil to hang over two opposite sides for easy removal. Grease and flour bottom and sides of pan or use a baking spray with flour; set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix all crumb topping ingredients together: sugar, cinnamon and walnuts; set aside. In a medium bowl whisk flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy. Add eggs, buttermilk and vanilla; mix until just combined. On low speed, gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in apples, walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with crumb topping.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes before grabbing the foil overhang to remove to a wire rack for further cooling. Slice loaf warm or at room temperature. Serve with butter or jam. ENJOY!
