Here is another Weight Watchers dessert from Weight Watchers magazine All Things Sweet cookbook. There is plenty for everyone with 12 servings and 6 points per serving.



1 3/4 c. sugar, divided
1/2 c. (stick) margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. fat free cream cheese, softened (I used a full 8 oz. pkg.)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 c. peeled chopped apples (about 2 large)
Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat 1 1/2 c. sugar, margarine, vanilla and cream cheese at medium speed of a mixer until well blended. 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.
3. Combine remaining 1/4 c. sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Combine 2 tbsp. cinnamon mixture and apples in a bowl; stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter into an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides. Let cook completely on a wire rack; cut with a serrated knife.
