How to Make Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Peel, core, and chop 4 firm Spartan apples. Toss 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture with the chopped apples.
- Gently fold the apple mixture into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should also pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides and serving.
