Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Spray your pan generously with cooking or baking spray of choice.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and apple pie spice seasoning. Mix with a whisk until well combined.
- Add in the vegan yogurt, nondairy milk and vanilla extract. Mix together with a whisk until smooth.
- Add in the apples and fold them in with a spatula.
- In a separate medium sized bowl combine the ingredients for the vegan cream cheese filling and mix together with a spoon until smooth.
- Take the pan and add half the batter to it, then scoop in the vegan cream cheese filling, finally add the remaining batter on top.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake looks golden brown. There shouldn't be any cake but you may have some for the vegan cream cheese filling on it.
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar together.
- Once the cake is done allow it to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Then add a dish to the top and flip it over so the cake comes out.
- Allow it to cool another 20 minutes before slicing. Prior to serving sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and enjoy.
