How to Make Bavarian Apple Cheese Cake Tart
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- For the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2-4 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.
- For the filling: Beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and beat until combined. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- For the apple topping: Peel, core, and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 1 ½ pounds). In a bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared tart crust. Arrange the apple slices over the filling in a decorative pattern.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for extra elegance.
