Rustic Apple Cream Cheese Cake

I had left over cream cheese from making Oreo Truffles (see my post on how to make these...sooo goood) and searched online for some recipes using cream cheese.  I eventually gave up and combined several recipes and created this amazing, delicious lump bumpy apple sour cream cake.

 

It is absolutely divine, tastes like hot cinnamon donuts with chunks of sweet apple inside!  Give it a go, it will quickly become a family favourite.
