French Apple Cake

By Debbie-5

This recipe is for a traditional apple cake with a twist; the addition of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. You can use pears instead or even peaches. I feel like I have made this cake a thousand times and every time it turned out well and disappeared so fast! It is both simple and economical!
