Ingredients
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup peeled and diced apples
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for crisp topping)
1/3 cup light brown sugar (for crisp topping)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for crisp topping)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in diced apples.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- For the cheesecake layer, beat softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Top with remaining batter, spreading gently to cover the cheesecake layer.
- In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crisp topping. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the loaf.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, tenting with foil halfway if browning too quickly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for a crunchy twist.
Double the cheesecake layer for a richer center.
Drizzle with vanilla glaze after cooling for extra sweetness.
Use tart, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results.
Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Warm slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to refresh texture.
Can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 GF flour blend.
Freezes well for up to 2 months when tightly wrapped.
