How to Make Apple Cheese Phyllo Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Place 2 sheets of phyllo pastry in the center of the prepared pie plate, letting the edges overhang.
  4. Brush the phyllo with melted butter (1 tablespoon).
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with two more sheets of phyllo pastry.
  6. Spread 1/4 cup of apple jam evenly over the phyllo base.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 ounces cream cheese, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the cheese mixture over the jam layer.
  9. In a separate bowl, gently toss 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Arrange the apple mixture over the cheese layer.
  11. Carefully fold and tuck the overhanging phyllo edges to create a rim around the tart.
  12. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheese is set and lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
  14. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
