List of Ingredients




3 medium apples (Gala, Braeburn, Rome, or Jonathan)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks butter, softened
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream (may use non-fat or low-fat)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans
4 ounces cream cheese (may use low fat)


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan or spray with pam. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Place in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Fold into the sour cream mixture. Stir in the apples. Pour half of this batter into the prepared pan. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans. Sprinkle over the batter in the pan. Chop the cream cheese into small pieces and sprinkle over the pecans. Cover with the rest of the batter and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, turn out of pan onto a wire rack. Cool complete before cutting.

Here is an Apple Glaze you may use for a topping.

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup apple juice or cider
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup confectioners sugar (optional)

Mix the cornstarch with a drop of the apple juice to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir into the rest of the juice (except the frozen concentrate) in a small saucepan.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth. Stir in the apple juice concentrate and cinnamon. Remove from the heat. For a sweeter glaze, beat in the confectioners sugar, if desired.

Cool slightly and drizzle over the cake.
