Bavarian Apple Torte


This super easy torte is quickly becoming a family favorite.

Crust:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup flour

Combine and press into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of an ungreased springform pan. ( My springform is MIA, so my photo shows this torte in a 10 inch, extra deep, pie dish).

Filing:

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients together and beat until smooth. Spread over the crust.

Topping:

4 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup almonds

Combine apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Layer over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle almonds over top. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Cool before removing the sides of the springform pan. Serve at room temperature.
