This Apple Cream Cheese Cake is moist, fluffy, and full of buttery goodness. It’s extra decadent from the added cream cheese! This will be a definite fall favorite in your home! It’s an upgrade to the classic Sharlotka (Russian Apple Cake). 

Soft and Simple Apple Cake with Cream Cheese

I love going apple picking. It’s something we all do as a family together and has just become a fall tradition. My favorite fall tradition. One of the many reasons I love apple picking so much is because I end up making delicious apple treats at home. 

And this apple cream cheese cake is a definite winner. 

  1. It would get you first prize at any baking contest.
  2. It will get everyone who’s tried it asking for the recipe. 
  3. It will be gone as soon as you start thinking of chowing down on leftovers. 
  4. It is so good.

Soft and Simple Apple Cake with Cream CheeseThis recipe is completely made from scratch. It’s got goodness you could smell from a block away (and I’m not completely joking here. My husband always knows I’ve made apple cream cheese cake before he pops into the kitchen). 

This cake is filled with delicious, juicy apples that sit cushioned between layers of delicious cake batter that’s made from cream cheese and butter. Is your mouth watering yet? ‘Cuz mine sure is!

Before popping this cake into the oven, I like sprinkling it with some of my favorite goodies! I’ve really enjoyed the taste and texture of sunflower seeds baked right on top! I also like to add some brown sugar on top for a caramelized flavor. You could add, subtract, or substitute as you wish. A sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel would taste great!

Next time you’ve got some extra apples on hand do try and make this apple cream cheese cake! It will become one of your favorite apple recipes!
