Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 medium apple
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Add the butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and sour cream. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and fold until just combined. Reserve 1 cup of this batter and spread the rest into the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Add the reserved 1 cup of batter over the cream cheese layer and spread it gently to cover.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the slices with lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Arrange the apples on top of the batter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then release the springform and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
