Ingredients

Bread Batter

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crisp Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Make Wet Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing. Then, gently fold in the peeled and diced apples to distribute them evenly.
  4. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.
  5. Prepare Cheesecake Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, then continue beating until the cheesecake mixture is creamy and uniform. Carefully spread this layer evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
  6. Add Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining bread batter over the cheesecake layer and gently spread it to cover the entire surface without disturbing the layer underneath.
  7. Make Crisp Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crisp topping. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the loaf.
  8. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent the loaf with aluminum foil halfway through baking. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts and maintain the structure of the layers. Serve as a delicious breakfast treat or a comforting dessert.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor that complements the cheesecake.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth cheesecake layer.
  • Cooling completely before slicing helps the bread hold its shape and prevents crumbling.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans on top of the crisp topping before baking.
