Apple Crisp Cheesecake Bread Every fall, when the first cool morning finally arrives, I head straight to the kitchen and start pulling apples out of the fridge. This Apple Crisp Cheesecake Bread is the loaf I bake first, and in my house it rarely survives past day two.

Preparation
1-Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan: Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with baking spray, and line it with parchment paper leaving a large overhang on the sides so you could easily lift the bread from the pan. Adjust the oven rack just below the center (to the lower third position) and preheat the oven to 350 F.

4-Peel and dice apples in small 1/2-inch: Peel and dice apples in small 1/2-inch chunks, and toss them with 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, then set aside, too.

10-Bake in preheated oven for about 55-70: Bake in preheated oven for about 55-70 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This is a heavy loaf full of apples, so if your bread takes longer, that’s OK. Just tent it with aluminum foil after 30-40 minutes to prevent the top from browning too much.
