When Dad and I were first married I loved this recipe because it was a little bit of cheesecake and apple pie all in one. Since it didn't require a traditional pie crust it made it even better. It's more like a sugar cookie crust. YUM!
I used a pie dish the first few times until I bought a springform pan which makes the presentation better. I was told at the time this was a Bavarian dish but I can't remember who gave me this recipe. It is our nod to your Dad's Heck family heritage.
Beat together into a dough:
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1/4 t vanilla
1 c flour
Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9" springform pan or in a 9 inch pie dish
In separate bowl, mix together
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/4 c sugar
1/2 t vanilla
Spread this filling over pressed crust.
Top with
4 c tart apple, peeled, cored and sliced thin
Sprinkle apples with mixture of
1/2 t cinnamon
1/3 c sugar
Bake at 450 F for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 400 F and bake for 25 minutes
Let cool then serve warm/room temp. Or you can refrigerate it and serve it cold.
