I tested multiple recipes to find just what gave the best results. On Pinterest and Facebook you see many recipes with lovely photos. But if you've tried them you know you must beware. Some of them are really just marketing gimmicks to get you to look at a page that contains an ad. With this recipe you needn't worry. I've done all of the testing and taken the best of several recipes and made them in to one that never fails.

Ingredients
Loafs:
2 cups flour
pinch salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar (granulated white)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 heaping tablespoons applesauce
2 apples
Topping:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Combine flour, soda, salt and spices. Set aside. In a large mixer cream the butter until lighter yellow and somewhat fluffy. With the mixer on a medium-high speed, slowly add the white then brown sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs and applesauce. (May use sweet or unsweetened applesauce.) With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Stop the mixer. Peel, core and chop the apples into small pieces. Fold in with a spoon or with the mixer on very low/stir.
Spoon the batter into a loaf pan(s) that have been greased or sprayed with food release (Pam). Use one standard loaf pan or three mini-loaf pans.
Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the tops of the loaf(s).
Bake 30-35 minutes for mini-loaf or 55-60 minutes for a standard loaf, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
