Bavarian Apple Torte

Without a doubt, this is probably one of the best desserts I've ever baked. Rich, creamy and delicious. This may be THE perfect Fall dessert. 

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 t. vanilla extract

2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 t. vanilla extract

3 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples

1/2 cup sugar

1 t. ground cinnamon

Combine the first four ingredients. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Pour over the crust. Combine topping ingredients; spoon over filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator. Cut into wedges with a serrated knife.
