Ingredients

3 medium size apples, peel and cube

1 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons cinnamon.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup butter, softened

3 eggs

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 stick butter, melted

1 box (16 ounces) confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Mix apple pieces, brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, softened butter and 1 egg. Pat crust down tight in the pan and set aside.
Whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs and beat until incorporated. Add vanilla and melted butter. Beat until well blended. Add the confectioners’ sugar about a cup at the time, until blended.
Gently fold in the apple mixture. Pour this mixture over the crust. Bake until the center is soft and a little jiggly in center. Don’t overcook or it will be dry. Hard to put exact time as all ovens are different.

Editor’s Note: When this recipe was originally printed in our February 2019 issue (page 41), we mistakenly listed a total of five eggs. You will only need three to whip up this treat, as indicated above. This online version is accurate, and we also printed a correction in our March 2019 issue (page 5).
