BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
To make the chai spice, combine all the spices in a shallow bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×5 inch bread pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, the yogurt, apple butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour, 1 tablespoon chai spice, the baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
Toss the apples with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 2 teaspoons chai spice. Mix the apples into the batter. Dollop the cream cheese over the batter and give it a gentle stir. Don't over-mix it.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
To make the swirl, mix the butter, brown sugar, flour, and 1-2 teaspoons of chai spice. Arrange the clumps over the batter. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil halfway through cooking.
Remove, slice, and enjoy with butter and flaked sea salt.
