How to Make Apple Topped Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss 2 cups of thinly sliced apples with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  5. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  9. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Toss the prepared apple slices in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  11. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the batter.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool completely before serving.
