Apple Cream Cheese Bread

Don’t you just love Pinterest?  I will never live long enough to bake, plant, knit, crochet, paint or sew all the pins I have pinned.  But who cares, I love that site.  Anyone want my attention go to Pinterest and you may find me.   This is where I found the recipe for this moist and delicious Apple Cream Cheese Bread. I have posted in the past a recipe for  blueberry-cream-cheese-bread and the two recipes are very simular.   This recipe will be added to my collection.  The bread is moist and yummy.  I found this on pinterest from Kim at todays creative blog.  Happy Cooking,  Andi 

For the bread:
2 apples (cut in small pieces or grate)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour (Kim used whole Wheat Flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning or cinnamon and nutmeg

Cream Cheese:
6 ounce of cream cheese  (room temp)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray your loaf pan with “Pam” spray and line with parchment paper and spray that also.  I like using the parchment paper because you can have the over hang of the paper on the sides and you can use that to help pull the entire loaf out of the baking dish.

Using a mixing bowl add the oil and the sugar and mix.  Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix again. In another smaller bowl add the measured flour, baking soda, salt and the spice.   Whisk these all together then add to the egg mixture and mix.  Add the grated apples and mix.  

In the smaller bowl combing the ingredients for the cream cheese mixture and blend.  

Place the batter in the prepared loaf pan then add all of the cream cheese mixture and spread around to cover the apple batter. Using a fork or knife, gently swirl the two layers together.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes.   Watch so that you don’t over bake your bread. Kim covered her bread for the first 30 minutes with a tent made from foil.  Bake until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes clean.    Cool then slice and enjoy
