      Apple Bavarian Torte

      Low Sodium Low Potassium High Protein Vegetarian No Shellfish American Dessert

      Apple Bavarian Torte

      Low Sodium Low Potassium High Protein Vegetarian No Shellfish American Dessert
      10 servings
      Prep time: 35 minutes
      Total time: 4 hours 30 minutes

      Description

      In this gorgeous apple torte dessert recipe, whole-wheat flour and almonds make a cookie-like crust that is topped with a lighter cream cheese filling and cinnamon-sugar apples.

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
      2. To prepare crust: Pulse flour, almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor, using about 10 one-second pulses, until combined. With the motor running, add butter, a few pieces at a time, until combined. Add egg yolk and vanilla and process until evenly combined (the mixture will look like wet sand). Pat the crust into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and about 1 inch up the sides.
      3. To prepare filling: Wipe out the food processor. Add egg, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla; process until smooth. Spread into the crust.
      4. To prepare topping: Toss apples, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until combined. Spoon over the filling, pressing gently. Top with almonds.
      5. Bake the torte for 15 minutes.
      6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Continue baking until set around the edges and just a bit jiggly in the center, 20 to 25 minutes more.
      7. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, remove the pan sides and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, before serving.
