Crust:
1/2 c Butter
1/3 c Sugar
1 c Flour
Cheesecake filling:
2 pk Cream cheese; 8 oz at room
1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla
Cinnamon-apple topping:
3 Apples; golden delicious, l
1/3 c Sugar
1 ts Cinnamon; ground
1/2 c Orange marmalade; melted
Preheat oven to 400 degress F. To prepare the crust, cream
the butter and 1/3 cup sugar, and add the flour and blended until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat crumbs into the bottom and 1″ up
the sides of a 10″ springform pan. Base 10 minutes, until golden.
Cool. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar together until blended, scraping down the sides of the
bowl several times. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Pour the mixture
evenly over the baked crust. Core apples and cut into thin even
slices. Arrange apple slices in overlapping layers over the cream
cheese filling. Mix 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon, and sprinkle over
top of the apples. Bake 35 minutes, until the apples are tender and
the cheesecake layer is set. Cool, then chill. Before serving, spoon
the warm orange marmalade over the top. This cheesecake is pretty as
apple slices bake into cheesecake filling with a cinnamon glaze on
top. Recipe From:Great Old-Fashioned American Desserts
