Description

Delight in the heartwarming flavors of apple and cinnamon with a creamy twist! This Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bread is a scrumptious choice for breakfast or as a cozy afternoon snack.


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups peeled and grated apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened


Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully integrated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Prepare the apple mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the grated apples, Greek yogurt, and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth.

Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually incorporate the apple mixture into the butter mixture, stirring until well combined. Then, gently fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.

Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow the apple cinnamon cream cheese bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve: Slice and savor this moist and flavorful apple bread, beautifully combined with the richness of cream cheese.
