Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Refrigerate until firm.
  3. Peel, core, and dice apples. Toss with brown sugar and cinnamon, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually fold in dry ingredients and milk until smooth.
  5. Whip together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla until silky. Add one egg, mixing just until combined.
  6. Layer half of the bread batter in the pan, followed by apples, cheesecake filling, remaining batter, and sprinkle with the crisp topping.
  7. Bake for 55-70 minutes. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil. Check doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Let the bread rest for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar and milk after cooling.
