PEACH BREAD:
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. vegetable oil
- 1/4 c. peach schnapps or peach nectar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 lg. eggs
- 2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 c. diced fresh peaches
STREUSEL TOPPING:
- 1/4 c. pecans
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c. dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 T. unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil. Add Peach Schnapps or peach nectar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat until well combined. Stir in diced peaches. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- STREUSEL TOPPING: In a small bowl, using a pastry blender or fork, combine all ingredients. Sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake for about 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. NOTE: After 30 minutes of baking, cover the bread with foil to prevent the top from burning.
- Cool in the pan over a rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pan to cool completely.
