Instructions
If you are peeling your apples, peel them first, then finely chop and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8x4" loaf pan (see notes above for different sizes)
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, applesauce, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
Add the baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda and whisk until combined.
Stir in the flour until there are little to no streaks of flour remaining -- don't overmix.
Stir in apples and spread into prepared loaf pan.
Combine ingredients for Cinnamon Sugar and sprinkle over bread.
Bake for 30-40 minutes before checking to see if the top is golden. If the top is golden brown, cover with foil and continue baking for 20-30 minutes until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. If the top is pale, leave uncovered and continue baking 20-30 minutes.
