I love the combination of fruit and cream cheese, but there are those in my family who don’t care for it, so I can’t make this cake as often as I’d like to. Since that is the case, I thought I’d better post it on this rare occasion that I had an excuse to make it. I got the recipe from my friend Karin, many years ago when we used to get together for coffee while our kids played. I’ve modified the recipe somewhat.Ingredients:
1/2 c butter
1/3 c sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 c flour
2 – 8 oz pkg.cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
3 c thinly sliced apples
½ c sliced almonds
Base: Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Blend in flour. Spread dough on bottom and a little up the sides, of a 9 or 10” spring-form pan.
Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Pour into pastry-lined pan.
Topping: Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Toss apples in sugar mix and spoon mixture over cream layer or arrange in orderly pattern and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Top with almonds. Bake at 400F for 10 min. Reduce temp to 375F. Continue baking 45 min. Cool slightly before removing rim of pan.
she's baaack.......looks great. i haven't made this in years, worth making again that is for sure.

Pooh! Others beat me too it! I wanted to say...sheeeeeeeeeees back..and with a bang! I am so glad you posted this. Anneliese...you are my hero for consistently providing us with beautiful photos and scrumptious desserts. I want to be a neighbour! Got any leftovers?!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing here. . she was no doubt asking her husband to stop at the store on the way home from the airport. . .dying to get a dessert posted quickly.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy this one. . and you display is so beautifully. Welcome back Anneleise . .I know you were missed on this blog.
Now I'm laughing! No, I wasn't in any hurry to bake a dessert that quick! (I have a few pounds to lose first. .. those mile high mud pies etc. were hard to resist) This recipe was ready to be posted before we left. Good thing there's none left.
ReplyDeleteStill, she is organized enough. . .to have a post ready to go. . .
ReplyDeleteI'm still quite impressed.
Welcome back, Anneliese! This has been one of my favorite desserts since I clipped it out of a magazine back in the 70's. I have used this dessert at many larger functions...i.e. 'teacher appreciation' banquet, dessert receptions, etc. It's one of those desserts that people always want the recipe for. Your pictures look great!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous. Welcome back Anneliese!
ReplyDeleteHave to go now, must go back to licking the picture of that torte!
Welcome back Anneliese..wow gorgeous pics and another yummy recipe to add to my ever growing pile of recipes to try.
ReplyDeleteThat looks DELICIOUS! I can't see why your family wouldn't like fruit & cream cheese. You could put cream cheese on liver, and I may consider eating it. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave made this three times already since Easter. My whole family loves it - even my super picky brother! My husband likes it so much he helped peel the apples last time to ensure that it was going to get made. Its sweet & rich without being overpowering. So yummy! Thanks for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteI've been making this dessert for years. It's one of my favourites! I love the combination of flavours.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm excited to jump in and see all of your recipes. I live in a large Mennonite area. :)

The oven is smoking! I followed the recipe exactly. The apple juices must be causing the smoke. Does this happen to you?
ReplyDeleteThis recipe was very easy and the torte was fabulous. Everyone had to have the recipe. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the last two comments came from the same person. I hope the smoking oven still turned out a delicous cake. With the spring-form pans it is possible to have juices run out. It is important to have the rim fit correctly, but sometimes it still happens. I can't say I've had a big problem.. but it is a good idea to put some foil in the bottom of the oven for easier clean-up. A pan may keep the bottom of the cake from getting done well. The juices come from the sugar in the apples.
