Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Ingredients
1- 15oz can of Apple Pie Filling
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla flavor (french vanilla flavor if you have it)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla butter flavor
1/2 teaspoon of maple flavor
6 large eggs room temperature
3 sticks of unsalted butter -room temperature
1 1/2 cups of light brown sugar
1 cup of granulated sugar
3 cups of cake flour (or All Purpose Flour - sift 3 times for a lighter cake)
2/3 cups of unsweetened apple sauce
1 8oz cream cheese-room temperature
1/4 of finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup of pecan halfs
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
Preheat oven on 325°F.
In a large bowl, sift your flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. (If you don't have a sifter, whisk altogether for one minute until well combined).
Add chopped pecans to dry mixture and mix well. Set aside.
Next, using your mixer, mix your sugars, cream cheese and butter together for 10 minutes, scraping the sides down every 3 minutes. After 10 minutes add your room temperature eggs, one at a time.
Next, add your flavors. After adding your flavors, begin adding 1/3 of your flour mixture, next add 1/2 of your applesauce, and rotate with your flour being the last added ingredient. Mix for approximately 30 seconds and make sure to scrape sides of the mixing bowl. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Set aside, and get your baking pan ready. Spray your fluted, or Bundt cake pan well using butter flavored spray and baking spray. (You can do the butter and flour method also. Make sure to cover all areas well to prevent sticking)
Use half of the can of apple pie filling and place at the bottom of pan, making sure its evenly distributed. Next pour cake batter on top of apples. Once the batter is in the pan, tap it on the counter to release any air bubbles that may be lingering in the batter.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry when placed in the center. Let cake cool for 10- 15 minutes before flipping out onto a cake plate.
While cake is cooling, lets make the topping. Pour remaining pie filling into a small pot, and add your pecan halves along with them. You may add a couple dashes of cinnamon and maple syrup for extra flavor. Let it heat and stir for 5 minutes. Set to the side.
Once the cake has cooled for 15 minutes, flip cake onto a cake plate. Pour your apple pecan topping onto cake, making sure it covers the top well. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
