A classic European torte baked in a springform pan. Cream cheese, sliced almonds, and apples make this the perfect holiday treat (12 servings).
1/2 cup butter 1/3 cup white sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 1/4 cup white sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 apples - peeled, cored, and sliced 1/3 cup white sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup sliced almonds

- I loved the buttery taste of the crust which complements the apples very nicely.

- Nothing special. I like the crust, but there was a little too much of it for my taste, and I liked the filling but there was too little of it. I thought the crunchy apples combined with the sliced almonds detracted from the overall flavor.

- Delicious!! I recommend microwaving the apples for 3 minutes before baking, to soften them. Great dessert - I'll be making it again for the holidays.
