One of my favorite apple recipes is this apple bread made with cream cheese. Cream cheese apple bread is a delicious baked good that offers a combination of flavors and textures. The cream cheese adds a tangy and slightly savory flavor to the bread, while the apple provides a sweet and fruity flavor. The bread itself is usually moist and tender, with a slightly dense texture that makes it feel satisfying in the mouth.
I don’t know about you, but I’m up to my ears in apples! We have two apple trees that produce a LOT of fruit, so I’m always on the lookout for great apple recipes. We also have 2 Asian Pear trees……..if you have pear recipes, send them my way.
This Cream Cheese Apple Bread it so good! It makes the perfect hostess gift, or neighbor gift…….but it’s even better with these cute printable labels my friend Marlynn from Urban Bliss made. I asked her to leave a couple of them blank, so you can use them on jams, jellies, or other canned items. Word on the street is that she also has some matching recipe cards……..head on over and grab them!

Cream Cheese Apple Bread Recipe
Cream cheese apple bread is a quick bread that is made with cream cheese and apples and other delicious ingredients. The cream cheese adds a tangy and slightly savory flavor to the bread, while the apple provides a sweet and fruity flavor. The bread itself is usually moist and tender, with a slightly dense texture that makes it feel satisfying in the mouth.
Ingredients
- Cream Cheese Apple Bread
- (adapted from Tomato Kumato)
- For the Bread
- 2 Apples
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 Cup flour – I used Whole Wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning (or cinnamon & nutmeg)
- Cream Cheese topping
- 6oz. cream cheese (room temp)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
- Chop your apples into small pieces or grate. I peeled my apples, but you can use the peel if wanted. Place into a large mixing bowl. Add oil, cup of sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Gently fold in flour, baking soda, salt and spices until wet. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar and egg either with a fork or mixer. Pour over the top of the batter. Using a fork or knife, gently swirl the two layers together.
- Bake for 30 min with a loosely covered tin foil tent. Remove foil and continue to bake an additional 15-20 min until a toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

It looks like something that would be perfect for breakfast, having practically all the necessary food groups! I would need a gluten-free version but I think I an adapt my version to your recipe. In any case, it looks scrumptious and I can’t wait to get all of the ingredients together to try it out. I bet it freezes well, too. The apple butter sounds yummy as well and you’re right; the labels are super adorable.

apple bread is not yet a tradition at my house, but I think I’m gonna turn it into one! and this is just the right recipe to begin with, thanks!
Cece says
Hi and thanks for the recipe. Could you please tell me what kind of apple I should use, and what size loaf pan?
Happy Fall !
Kim says
I used whatever apples grow on my tree. They’re green. LOL I don’t think it matters. The recipe calls for a regular size loaf pan, however, I used two mini’s and just watched the time.

I’m very excited to try this bread! I would be baking it tonight if I had some cream cheese on hand, guess I’ll have to wait a little longer. 🙂 I love how you packaged it, thanks so much for the free printable tags!
