Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 16 oz soft cream cheese
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup warm milk
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix the cream cheese with the granulated sugar, warm milk, egg and vanilla until smooth; this one batch of filling serves all three loaves.
Cream cheese swirl filling
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ½ cup light vegetable oil
Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cloves together.
Apple loaf batter
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 whole eggs
Whisk the light oil, granulated sugar, room temperature eggs, yogurt and vanilla together.
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the flour is just combined.
- 1 whole apple
Peel, core and dice the apple and toss it in a little flour.
Put half the batter in the parchment lined loaf pan, spread the cream cheese filling over it, top with the remaining batter and swirl with a knife.
Set the loaf pans on a parchment lined baking tray so they are easy to move and any spill misses the oven.
Bake at 350F for about 70 minutes, until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean, then cool completely.
