Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups sugar, cream cheese, and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the flour mixture, reserve the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for topping. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the flour mixture. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Gradually add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chopped apples. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (75 minutes)

09

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For best results, use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.
Feel free to experiment with different types of apples for a unique flavor profile.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
This cake is even more delicious when served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    The cinnamon-sugar topping creates a delightful crispy crust that complements the soft interior.

  • Lura Cummings

    I found that using a mix of sweet and tart apples added complexity to the flavor.

  • Garret Hammes

    I added a caramel glaze on top, and it took this cake to the next level!

  • Dave Rolfsonturcotte

    Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. Start checking for doneness around 1 hour.
