Description

This apple Bavarian torte recipe is cleverly made in a springform pan, with a no-fuss crust, a tangy cream cheese filling, and an apple-almond topping.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Mix flour, butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a medium bowl. Press crust into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
3 Blend cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl until well combined. Pour filling over crust.
4 Mix apples, 1/3 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a large bowl; spread over filling.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); continue baking for 25 minutes. Sprinkle almonds over torte; continue baking until apples are tender and almonds are golden. Cool; remove from pan.
