Easy Pastry Shop Apple Tart

By á-46

Ingredients

• FOR THE CREAM FILLING:
• CRUST: Pillsbury store bought pie crust
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• FOR THE TOP:
• 3 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Notes
• If you want to put on a glaze, I'd use apricot jelly, but thin it out with a little water first because you're working on a bumpy surface.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.


Take the crust and press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, giving it about a 1-inch rim. Bake 15 minute, or until lightly golden. Remove the tart shell from the oven.

While the crust bakes, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla for the cream filling until smooth. Make the topping by tossing the apple slices with the cinnamon and sugar.

Remove the tart shell from the oven. Spread over the cream mixture. Arrange the apple slices on top. Bake until the apples are tender and golden, about 40 minutes.
