- FILLING
- 5 cooking apples (peeled, cored and sliced)

- 1 egg
- 50g sugar

- STEP 1Preheat over to 230C. Make your crust by creaming together the butter, sugar and then flour and extract. Press this as evenly as possible onto the base of a springform tin and slightly up the sides.
- STEP 2Prepare your apples by microwaving the slices on a high heat for about 3-5 minutes until softer. Toss the slices with the sugar and cinnamon and set aside to cool slightly
- STEP 3Beat the cream cheese with the sugar. Then beat in the egg, vanilla and then the flour. Pour this mixture on the crust base.
- STEP 4Place the sliced apples as decoratively (or as messy) as desired over the top (some will sink in) and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- STEP 5Reduce the heat to 190 and leave in for 25 minutes more. Sprinkle some crushed almonds on top and leave to cool before serving.
