 Bavarian Apple Torte. Note: For the following photos I made one half recipe and used a 6" springform pan. |
 Apple wedges should not be wider than 1/4" at widest edge or they won't cook sufficiently. Apples slices at left are 3/4" wide (too large); those on right are 1/4" wide - that's narrow! |
 Tamp crust lightly and evenly into bottom of springform pan |
 After cheese filling is poured over crust, arrange cinnamon-sugar coated apple wedges in desired pattern on top |
 Bake until tester poked into cheese filling mixture comes out clean. Cool in pan. |
 Torte on serving platter ready to cut. Use a sharp slim knife; the first piece is the hardest one to get out! |

There are gazillions of recipes on the Internet for Bavarian apple cheese cake or torte, but most are sweeter than typical German pastries. I prefer this recipe posted several years ago by a lady from Germany as it makes me think I'm eating authentic German torte. It is certainly sweet, but not overly so, and not rich and heavy with cream cheese (many other recipes have double the amount and are more correctly called a cheese cake than a torte.) If you want to think you're visiting an authentic German "byckerei" try making this simple but divine dessert.

06 ноября 2011So glad you tried it out, Sheba, and thanks for your review! It's about time for me to make again for the fall company ahead!
19 октября 2011Hi Salad Foodie. This sounds delectable. I think the idea of less sweetness. I usually make cheese cake several times a year during Holiday season. With apples in season this looks like a great option. I have added to my my Try Soon folder. Thanks for sharing!
