How to Make Apple Cheese Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually blend in 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Press the dough evenly onto the bottom and 1 ½ inches up the sides of an 8 ½ inch springform pan.
  5. Spread ½ cup apple jam evenly over the bottom of the crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat together 16 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and light.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the jam layer.
  8. In a bowl, toss 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well coated.
  9. Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the cream cheese filling.
  10. Sprinkle with ½ cup sliced almonds.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the torte is set and the apples are tender. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  12. Let the torte cool slightly in the pan before removing the springform rim. Serve warm or at room temperature.
