How to Make Bavarian Apple Tart
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes), and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Trim and crimp the edges of the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat together ½ cup granulated sugar, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 4 cups).
- In a large bowl, toss the apples with ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Arrange the apple slices over the cream cheese filling.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Sprinkle with ½ cup slivered almonds.
- Continue baking for 5-10 minutes, or until the almonds are lightly browned.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
