APPLE CREAM CHEESE CAKE
1¾ c white sugar (divided into 1 ½ and ¼ c portions)
½ c unsalted butter, soft
1 tsp vanilla
6 oz block cream cheese (low fat makes no difference to taste or yummyness)
2 large eggs
1½ cup flour
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
3 c chopped peeled apples (Granny Smith’s work best)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray 9 inch spring-form pan with cooking spray.
Beat the 1½ c sugar, butter, vanilla and cream cheese until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat until blended after each. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and beat on low until blended.
Combine the ¼ c sugar and cinnamon (to be honest you can use a little less). Combine 2 T of cinnamon/sugar mixture to apples and mix to coat. Stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter (it is THICK) into a 9 inch spring form and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mix.
Bake for 1 hour 15 mins or until cake pulls away from pan at sides or a toothpick comes out clean.
NOTES:
(i) I made this and it was a hit. I think that it is better than my Dec 12 08 Apple Cake post (but then again, this one has cream cheese – which you can really taste by the way).
(ii) If you don’t have any cream cheese by all means make the one in my previous post.
Thanks Nicole!
