I have made this torte twice. Both times my guests asked what bakery I got it from because it looked and tasted so good. However, the second time I added some of the juice from the sliced apples thinking it would add to the flavor but instead it made the center of the torte a little soggy. So- follow the directions and you won't be disappointed!

bake for 45 minutes instead of 35. the shortbread crust becomes much tastier, harder and easier to serve.

Much easier to make than I anticipated. Some tortes don't need a crust on the side, as they set firm enough. Given the amount of crust this recipe called for, I ran it up the side of the pan. It worked well, but I think would have been prettier w/o the crust on the sides. I also used 1.5X the cream mixture. I did precook the apples a little first, which reduces the amount. So if you precook the apples, don't reduct the number you use. It turned out great & tasted wonderful.

Almost just right. Somehow the cream cheese mixture did't set up right. It was cooked all the way but not creamy, almost curdled. I suspect the apples. Any ideas. The crust is excellent I've been looking for a recipe like this forever. Thanks

This is a TART, not a TORTE. This has a very pretty presentation. The crust was the best part of the dish (very buttery and tasted like a cookie). However, the dish overall was bland.

This is a beautiful dish. Everyone thought I bought this at a bakery! One reviewer had a problem with it falling apart and being uncooked. I think that is because the recipe is unclear when it says to push crust on the bottom on pan. You also should press it on the sides. I wouldn't recommend cutting down on the crust amount because it browns nicely now. If you cut down on it, it would burn. I would recommend increasing the cream mixture - it is very yummy! This recipe is a definite keeper. I have made it many times and it is always a crowd pleaser!

Good recipe, Terri. I've made this twice now. First according to the recipe: I like the crust, but there was a little too much of it for my taste, and I liked the filling which there was a little to little of it. I thought the apples being crunchy detracted from the overall flavor. So, the second time I cut the crust by 1/3, upped the filling by another 1/2, and precooked my apples in the cinnamon sugar in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then I arranged the apples in a circular pattern covering the entire top of the torte. While warm from the oven, I covered the top evenly with a cinnamon sugar sauce. Wow! What flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. The ladies at my Bunco party thought I had ordered it from their favorite bakery! Thanks for creating the roadmap that helped me reach my destination....AND keep up my reputation as the best cook in the group! ;)

Not bad, but I would change the amounts slightly - 6 apples was too much compared to the amount of custardy cream cheese mix - I ended up with a thick layer of plain sliced apples on top. I'd make it with double the cream cheese mixture, and would add the apples first then pour the cream cheese mixture over top, so it will then settle down onto the crust. The recipe is also good with half pears, half apples.

My mom's been making this recipe for at least 10 years - at any and all occasions, it's dessert. Warning - it is VERY rich and you only need a little piece! Soo good, and yet so easy to make!

Disappointment! The crust never became crust but was mushy. And the apple mixture has nothing to keep it together. When you remove the springform pan it falls over into one big mess. Don't waste your time.
