Ingredients:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1 large egg |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk |
cooking spray |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled braeburn apple (about 3/4 pound) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare streusel, combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in 1 tablespoon butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in almonds.
3. To prepare cake, beat granulated sugar, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add amaretto, extracts, and egg, beating well.
4. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
5. Pour batter into a 9-inch round cake pan coated with cooking spray; sharply tap pan once on counter to remove air bubbles. Arrange apple slices over batter; sprinkle with streusel.
6. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Cut into wedges.
