Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Beat 1 ½ cups sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy; beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. 3 Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Combine ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon in a separate small bowl. Stir 2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar into flour mixture; reserve remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. 4 Stir flour mixture into cream cheese mixture until batter is smooth; stir in apples. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle batter with reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until cake slightly pulls away from edges of the pan, about 1 ¼ hours. Cool cake completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan and slicing.
