Steps

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan with oil spray. To make it even easier to remove the bread, cut a strip of parchment paper and place it in the loaf pan like a sling.
2Brown the Butter
3Add the diced butter to a small skillet or pot. Heat the skillet to medium heat. The butter will start to melt as the skillet heats up.
4Allow the butter to bubble and “cook” until it begins to change from a bright yellow color to a golden brown color. Continually stir the butter as you see the foam start to dissipate and brown bits begin to form in the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir the butter until it is a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.
5To a large mixing bowl add brown butter, unsweetened applesauce, dark brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
6Next, add the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
7Fold the grated apple and chopped walnuts into the batter.
8Transfer the batter to the prepared 9×5 loaf pan.
9Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10Remove the bread from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.
11Make the Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
12While the bread is cooling make the maple cream cheese frosting. Add the cream cheese and butter to a mixing bowl. Next, add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat the frosting on low speed for around 30 seconds to incorporate and then increase to high speed and continue to beat on high for around 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
13Once the bread is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting on top of the bread. Slice the bread and serve!
