Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 2 medium mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk or spatula (for mixing)
  • 1 peeler
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • (1) 9 inch springform pan (9 inch round or square pans will work too)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil can use canola or grapeseed oil too
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 apples chopped and peeled

For the cinnamon sugar topping:

  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the cream cheese glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar with oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Give that a whisk and sprinkle in the flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
  • Mix to form a smooth cake batter, then peel and chop the apples. Add them to the batter and transfer everything into your greased 9 inch baking pan.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the butter for the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix to distribute everything evenly.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the cake and bake for 65-75 minutes. Test the center of the cake with a toothpick to ensure it's fully baked through.
  • While the cake is cooling, combine the ingredients for the cream cheese glaze in a medium bowl.
  • Microwave for no more than 20 seconds. You just want the cream cheese to be softened. Mix until you're left with a smooth glaze.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and spread the cream cheese glaze overtop.
