This recipe contains quite a bit of applesauce, which provides natural sweetness so you use less sugar. As a bonus, it also allows for a minimal amount of oil to be used. Sherry Craw - Mattoon, Illinois

My kids didn't really like this, nor did I. The texture is odd. There are far better applesauce loaf recipes out there.

Maybe try not putting the crumb topping on till the last few minutes of baking,see if that works.

I like this bread. I think it tastes better after a couple days. Any ideas about the crumb topping not burning? I tried covering the bread with foil.

This is delicious and so easy to make! It's just a little crumbly but that's OK. All three of my kids loved it. It's less work than making the applesauce muffins like I've done in the past.
