Bavarian Apple Torte

From one of our missionaries (very good)

Crust: 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 t vanilla, one cup flour Combine and press into bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up sides of an un-greased 9-inch spring form pan. (I use a fluted torte pan that the bottom comes out of)

Filling: one 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened, one egg beaten, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 t vanilla Beat until smooth. Pour over crust. Topping: four cups thinly sliced peeled apples, 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Combine apples, cinnamon and sugar. Layer over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle almonds over top. Bake at 450 F for ten minutes. Lower heat to 400 F and bake 25 minutes longer. Cool on rack before removing sides of pan. Serve at room temperature or chill.
