DELICIOUS!!

Crust:

1/2c butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1c flour

1/4c sugar

Filling:

8 oz light cream cheese

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4c sugar

Topping:

1/4c sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

4c sliced apples

1/4c sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 450 F

Crust: Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy and add vanilla. Blend in flour 1/4c at a time until incorporated. Spread on bottom and part way up the sides of a non-stick spring-form pan.

Filling: Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add egg vanilla and sugar and beat until all is mixed well. A couple of small lumps of cream cheese are nothing to worry about. Pour into pan on top of crust.

Topping: Peel and slice apples. Mix with sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Layer the slices on top of the cheese mixture in the pan. Evenly sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes then lower heat to 400 F. Continue to bake for a further 25-30 minutes.

Be careful not to tip cake or the apple juice will slip between the pan and the crust and burn.

Cut into 14-16 slices to keep it as a nice points friendly dessert! YUM!
