How to Make Apple Cream Cheese Tart
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out 1 (9-inch) store-bought or homemade pie crust and press into a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar using a paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared tart shell.
- In a separate bowl, toss 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Arrange the apple slices in a symmetrical pattern on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving.
