My husband could not stop talking about this torte. I made it with pears, and it was absolutely delicious. He's asked for it several times since!

The torte ended up so sweet it was impossible to eat it. If you apples are not incredibly sour, the amount of sugar needs to be reduced in 25-30%. Sugar overpowered the cake's taste, so I'm not sure if it was good. The creem cheese tasted mediocre.

Turned out pretty good, not sure if I'll end up making this again or not.

Simple to make and looks beautiful on a nice serving plate. Taste is fabulous. Everyone loved it at our holiday gathering. This is really something special. Will make again and again when I need a nice dessert that everyone will like. Only change I made was to use walnuts (because I didn't have almonds on hand).

I needed to use some leftover apples and I am not a good crust maker...so this recipe was a hit! Easy to make and very tasty...

I made this for game night this weekend and it was a hit. My personal opinion though it was slightly to sweet. Next time I will cut back on the sugar. Also I microwaved the apple mixture ahead of time as others suggested and the texture was perfect. Also next time I will double the cream mixture of use a smallerspring form pan. It baked nicely but once it cooled down wasn't as high as I wanted.

This reminds me of an apple cheesecake recipe but simpler. I made the recipe without changing anything. The baking time took longer than stated. Precooking the apples may have helped. The crust was good and easy to make. I put the crust ingredients in the food processor and then formed it into a ball after processing. I would make this again.

The torte is beautiful! Like others, I increased the filling by a 1/3, and i'm glad I did. I was able to layer crust, filling, apple, filling, apple beautifully. I only needed 2 medium Golden Delicious apples, thinly sliced. I added a cinnamon sugar glaze (1/2 cup water, 1/2 brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon boiled over stove) at the same time as the almonds, and it bubbled SO nicely in the broiler! Basically, MAKE THIS TORTE, IT'S DELICIOUS :)
