German Apple Tart

A German-Style Apple Tart

This apple tart is a take on the traditional Bavarian style, using less sugar, cream, and cream cheese than would be used in the traditional style.

And I finally found an apple pie recipe that includes a crust made from scratch! Thank you for this. It doesn't even seem to be too hard to make; just need to get all the required ingredients for the filling.
