If you love a crunchy sugar crust, this is the only fall cake recipe you’ll need. 🍎 Ingredients: -1 tsp. ground cinnamon -1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided -3 medium Gala apples (about 1 1/4 lb.), cut into 1/2-in. pieces (about 3 cups) -Cooking spray -1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened -1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter, softened -2 large eggs -2 tsp. vanilla extract -1 3/4 cups (about 7 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour -1 1/2 tsp. baking powder -1/2 tsp. kosher salt Directions: -Stir cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the sugar together in a small bowl. Toss apples in 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture, and reserve remaining cinnamon sugar mixture for topping. -Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Beat cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until just blended, about 3 seconds. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute, scraping down bottom and sides of bowl as needed. -Pour two-thirds of the batter (about 3 cups) into the prepared pan, and layer apple mixture evenly on top. Spread remaining one-third of the batter (about 2 cups) over apples, and sprinkle evenly with reserved cinnamon sugar mixture. -Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, 1 hour to 1 hour, 5 minutes. Let cake cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife or offset spatula around edges to release cake, then remove sides of springform pan. Cool cake completely on wire rack, about 1 hour. #fallbaking #applerecipes #baking #cakes #fallrecipes
