A simple tart made with royal gala apples and cream cheese
Ingredients
Tart Shell:
½ Cup Butter
⅓ Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Unbleached Flour
Cream Filling:
1 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
8oz Cream Cheese, Softened
¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
Topping
3 Royal Gala Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
½ Tsp Cinnamon
¼ Cup Slivered Almonds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F
Tart Shell:
Cream the butter and sugar. Add vanilla and combine. Add flour and mix until a smooth dough is achieved. Press into the bottom of a pie-dish or an 8-inch spring form pan lined with parchment paper. Give the edges about an inch in height. Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
Cream Filing:
Beat egg, vanilla, cream cheese and filling until smooth. Pour on top of the tart shell.
Topping: In a small bowl, add cinnamon, sugar and almonds. Add apple slices and toss so that the apples are nicely coated. Arrange the slices in top of the cream cheese filling in a circular fashion. Spread any remaining almond/cinnamon/sugar mixture over the apples slices.
Bake until the apples are tender and golden for about 40 minutes
