    Cinnamon Apple Cake

    This is also good as a coffee cake.

    List of Ingredients

    1 3/4 cups sugar -- divided
    1/2 cup stick margarine -- softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    6 ounces block-style fat-free cream cheese -- softened (about 3/4 cup)
    2 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    3 cups chopped peeled Rome apple (about 2 large) -- I used gala
    Cooking spray


    Recipe

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Beat 1-1/2 cups sugar, margarine, vanilla, and cream cheese at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating at low speed until blended.

    3. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Combine 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixture and apple in a bowl, and stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter into an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture.

    4. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack, and cut using a serrated knife.

    Yield: 12 servings.

    Recipe By : Cooking Light

    Note: You can also make this cake in a 9-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch springform pan; just reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes. The cream cheese in the batter gives the cake lots of moisture. Because it's so tender, use a serrated knife for cutting.
