1 3/4	c	Sugar, divided
1/2	c	Stick margarine, softened
1	ts	Vanilla extract
6	oz	Block-style fat-free cream
		Cheese, softened (3/4 cup)

* Golden Delicious apples also work well

Preheat oven to 350F.

Beat 1 1/2 c sugar, margarine, vanilla and cream cheese at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating at low speed until blended.

Combine 1/4 c sugar and cinnamon. Combine 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixture and apple in a bowl, and stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter into a 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle remaining cinnamon mixture on top.

Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan (and is golden brown). Cool the cake completely on a wire rack, and cut using a serrated knife.

Note: You can also make this cake in a 9-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch sprinform pan; just reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes. From: Fn: International Cooking
