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.
