Ingredients
  

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the diced apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside to allow the flavors to blend.

      Cream the Butter and Cheese: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

        Add Sugar and Eggs: Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the cream cheese batter, mixing until just combined.

            Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold the prepared apple mixture and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter until evenly incorporated.

              Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

                  Enjoy your delightful Apple Cream Cheese Cake!
