I dont think there was a thing to change on this delicious recipe! My wife made it exactly as you had it, and it was delicious. Granted, you can change the flavor of toppings or add chocolate and mix it up there.. but in terms of proportion and the base ingredients... perfect and delicious. We made it 4x in the first week...AWESOME!

This was excellent! I made no changes to the recipe, though I did put my sliced apples through a slicer to make them thinner, which made all of my apples fully cooked. I would recommend putting a layer of tin foil below the pan-the apples leaked through the springform pan. Otherwise it got raves from my mom, boyfriend, bestfriend and her 14 month old!

This was good, but I found it to be a bit dry, especially the apples. I microwaved the apple mixture for 2 minutes before adding to the top. Not my best dessert, even though it is good.

Very lovely and delicious. Very rich and sweet. I did microwave the apples 2 minutes as suggested.

My dad, who can always find something wrong with everything I make, could not stop talking about how good this was! He did not even have an suggestions. I followed it exactly and it was great.

Easy and wonderful! Definately is a good idea to soften the apples first in the microwave. Also I used reduced fat cream cheese and was still great!

I followed the recipe exactly; it was super easy and turned out very well. Thank you so much! Oh, I just want to add that initially I was afraid that I had too many apples (I used 4 gigantic apples) because mine weren't nicely layered like I saw other peoples but just piled on top of the cheese mixture. Nevertheless, by the end of the baking process they cooked down giving off quite a bit of liquid, which also corrected itself after cooling. So...although I had a few doubts while putting the torte together and watching it cook, ultimately it turned out just fine.

This recipe is heavenly. I read reviews and the only thing I did do differently was to nuke the apples for 3 min. to ensure that they would be cooked all the way through by the end of the recipes stated times. It was perfect and is a definite keeper.

I thought this tart was excellent! The crust is just perfect. I made it for a party last night, and I had someone ask me if baking was my career. It really made my day, because someday soon, baking *will* be my career. Anyway, I also popped my apples in the microwave for three minutes to soften them up first, and I really think that's the way to go. I added a little more sugar to the juice left in the bowl afterward and popped it back in the microwave to melt it down. I then used the ensuing goo as a glaze to go on top. I didn't have any almonds, so I skipped that, but it was super delicious anyway.
