Servings: 8

Prep time:45 mins.

Ingredients:

• 

  6 oz Unsalted butter

• 

  3 oz Granulated sugar

• 

  1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

• 

  9 oz All purpose flour

• 

  4 oz Cream cheese

• 

  2 oz Granulated sugar

• 

  1 Large egg

• 

  2 Apples

• 

  4 Apples

• 

  2 oz Granulated sugar

• 

  1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

• 

  1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg

Step 1:

Make the crust: Beat together softened butter and 3 oz. of the sugar in a mixer, add vanilla and when well combined mix in flour until it forms a dough. Press dough into a round or rectangular tart pan with decorative edges and a removal bottom. Use the same mixing bowl for the next step.

Step 2:

Make the Filling: In the same bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 2 oz. of sugar. Add one egg and 2 apples chopped into small chunks. Pour batter into crust. Do not clean the mixing bowl--use it for the next step.

Step 3:

Slice 3-4 apples and mix with the 2 oz. of sugar and add the cinnamon and nutmeg until coated with spices and leftover batter. Arrange in a decorative manner on top of batter. OK, now you can clean the bowl!

Step 4:

Place tart pan on a baking sheet to prevent spills. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove from tart pan when cool and serve.
