This Bavarian Apple Tart is a super tasty take on a classic German dessert. I love to make this tasty when there are lots of apples in season. It is a great way to use up an apple harvest and a perfect way to welcome fall.
Start by making pastry and pressing it into the base of a springform tart pan. Prepare a cream cheese filling and spread evenly over the pastry base. Sprinkle apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom and toss to coat. Press the apple slices into the cream cheese mixture. Bake in the oven. Once cooked, leave to cool completely before slicing and serving.
To make this Bavarian Apple Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with ½ cup of softened butter, ⅓ cup of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl often, until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.
Press the pastry onto the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Combine ½ cup of sugar with 2 packs of cream cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in the same bowl. Beat the mixture at medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl often, until completely smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
Place 4 cups of apples in a separate bowl. Sprinkle with ⅓ cup of sugar, ½ teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg and a dash of cardamom. Toss to coat and arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the cream cheese filling, pressing the narrow end of the apple slices into the cream cheese mixture.
Bake the tart in the oven for 45 minutes.
Sprinkle the tart with ¼ cup of sliced almonds.
Continue baking the tart for 15-20 minutes until the center is almost set.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
Remove the rim from the springform pan and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
