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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the reserved 1 cup of batter over the cream cheese layer and spread it gently to cover.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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.
