Do you and Jeff own a restaurant?<BR/><BR/>The version I have is only different in that after you put in shortbread crust you bake it for 10 minutes to get it firm, then you put on a tart jam like raspberrry or blackberry or something similiar..it gives a nice contrast to the cheesecake filling. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for having the recipe and the pictures also helped!!<BR/><BR/>RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1008545521510857642008-11-02T22:33:00.000-05:002008-11-02T22:33:00.000-05:00Paul R - The changes sound appropriate!

I agree the cream cheese layer could have been a bit thicker - the time for the apples will depend on how thick you slice and what kind you use.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-74442184413918633562008-11-02T20:41:00.000-05:002008-11-02T20:41:00.000-05:00I made this and it was very good!

I wished for a bit more cheese filling, too, so maybe next time I'd add another half block of cream cheese. The apples were no where near cooked after the 35 minutes and it needed about 20 more minutes of cooking time. I also added a glaze of heated apricot jam with a bit of brandy on top for shine and to help keep the almonds in place. Looked and tasted good enough to bring to a holiday dinner!Paul Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018878360730489134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-32626852047038766362008-10-27T23:03:00.000-04:002008-10-27T23:03:00.000-04:00Lisa - I love picking apples!
