Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
For the topping:
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in walnuts or pecans ( if using)
For the bread:
In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar until combined.
Add buttermilk and baking powder; beat until combined.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
Add flour, apple pie spice mix and salt; beat until combined.
Stir in apple, nuts(if using), and raisins ( or currants). Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly.
Sprinkle streusel topping over batter and bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Let it cool for further 20 minutes and in the meantime, make the cream cheese glaze.
For the cream cheese drizzle:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add in the milk one teaspoon at a time and beat until you get spreadable consistency.
