This Apple Crumble Loaf Cake is made with applesauce and has the most delicious gooey, sweet pockets throughout each slice. The texture of the loaf itself is perfect and the taste is just the right amount of apple. It’s super easy to customize based on your dietary needs as well. Grab a fork, you’re going to love this one!

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Notes
- Instead of sitting on top of the loaf, the crumble topping will likely sink into your cake which creates these amazing, gooey and sweet pockets within each slice!
- Every oven is different, so I like to set my oven for the 40 minute mark and then check on the loaf and add time as needed. The cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf!
