Learn how to make delicious Cinnamon Swirl Apple Cheesecake Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

To create this delightful bread, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 large egg (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

If you’re out of sour cream, Greek yogurt makes a great substitute, keeping the bread moist and adding a slight tang.

Instructions

Follow these steps to bring your Cinnamon Swirl Apple Cheesecake Bread to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced apples gently, being careful not to overmix.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla for the cheesecake layer until smooth.
  8. Pour half of the apple batter into the prepared loaf pan, then spread the cheesecake mixture over it. Top with the remaining apple batter.
  9. Using a knife, gently swirl the batter to create the cinnamon swirl effect.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Remember, patience is key here—let the bread cool completely to ensure it holds its shape when sliced.
