-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 3/4 cups sugar -- divided

3/4 cup block-style fat-free cream cheese -- softened

(6 ounces)

1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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)

Cooking spray

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

 

2. Beat 1½ cups sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla at medium speed of a

mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well

after each addition; set aside.

 

3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the

flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, and beat

at low speed until blended. Combine ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Combine 2

tablespoons of the cinnamon mixture and apple in a bowl; 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° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until cake pulls away form the

sides of pan. Cook cake completely on a wire rack, and cut using a serrated

knife. Yield 12 servings.

 

Note: You can also make this cake in a 9-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch

springform pan; just reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
