How to Make Cinnamon Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar, 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese, ½ cup (115g) softened unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) 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. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a medium bowl, combine ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Peel and slice 4 medium apples (about 4 cups). In a separate bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Gently fold the apples into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing the sides of the springform pan. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
