Gingerbread Loaf with Crumble Topping

It is the most wonderful time of year for good food. This bread is the best because it makes the perfect breakfast, perfect dessert or perfect addition to a charcuterie board. I make it with my homemade applesauce. It makes the bread perfectly moist. My applesauce recipe is super easy to make and takes hardly anytime. Click here for my applesauce recipe. The crumble topping is what really seals the deal here. It has a nice crunch to it and adds the most amazing touch of sweetness on top!

I use my homemade applesauce but of course you can use any applesauce you want. Plain applesauce or even cinnamon applesauce works great. If you don’t have olive oil that is ok, too. Avocado or vegetable oil or canola oil works great. I make my own gingerbread mix in this recipe. If you have a premade one that is awesome, and you can definitely use that.
