Bavarian Apple Torte

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.
