Apple Tart


Filling
- 1 pre-baked pie crust
- 1 package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Apples
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 apple, sliced

Directions:

1. Slice apples and season. Arrange in pie crust.

2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and mix well. Blend in the egg and vanilla extract and process until smooth.

3. Pour mixture evenly around apples.

4. Bake at 450 F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and filling is almost set. Remove from oven and cool. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve at room temperature.


Notes: The tart pan I had was relatively small so I halved the recipe for the filling. I took the picture under the kitchen light and the tart looks really brown and burnt but it's actually not!
