Apple Cheese Tart

I just made this for a family get together today and it was a hit.  I hadn't realized that I didn't add this last year.


Crust:

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour

Preheat oven to 450. Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and flour together. Press into and up the sides of a pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 400.

Cream cheese layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar

Beat together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar. Spread over the crust.

Apple layer:

2-3 large apples, pealed and sliced
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar

Whisk the egg, cinnamon, and sugar together. Dip the apple slices in the egg mixture and arrange them over the cream cheese layer. Bake 25 minutes at 400.
