Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Topping: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well, drizzle in melted butter, stir until coarse crumbs, cover and refrigerate.
- Make Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients and milk, stirring until just combined.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and flour until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Toss Apples: Peel and dice apples, sprinkle with cinnamon and cinnamon sugar mix, toss until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Loaf: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan, pour half of prepared batter, layer half of tossed apples, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, spread cheesecake filling, top with remaining batter, apples, and crumble topping.
- Bake: Place loaf in preheated oven and bake for 55-70 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness. Cover with aluminum foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Cool: Remove from oven, let cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes. Gently run a knife around edges and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth filling. Refrigerate topping before baking for crunch. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
