Pastry Bottom:
1 1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/2 t vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Whirl in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
Press into a lightly greased 9" x 9" pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
Remove and let cool.
Cream Cheese Layer:
1 pkg cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
Place in food processor and whirl until smooth.
Pour over cooled crust.
Apple Layer:
4 large apples, {I used fresh Mac's}, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Mix sugar, cinnamon and sprinkle over sliced apples.
Arrange apples over the cheese layer. Sprinkle with almonds.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
BAKER'S NOTES: I serve these cold. Like lemon squares, I prefer the refreshing taste of the cols squares, along with the extra crunch the base develops.

This looks so good. Apples and cream cheese match perfectly together.
ReplyDeleteI love the world "whirl" in your instructions. It sounds so easy. Unfortunately, I don't have a food processor so I can't do any "whirling".:)
