Freestyle Apple Tart

Somewhere between a tart and a pie—and right smack in the middle of delicious. Fresh apples layer over a cream cheese filling and bake up with sugar and spice…so nice.

I was slightly scared to make this tart, due to the fact its so easy and there arent very many ingredients, we made 2, one of which my 4 year old made, they came out absolutely delicious, i would highly recommend this recipe to anyone, the cream cheese gives it just the slightest kick, this is a recipe i will make over and over

My husband made 2 of these tarts for a party I was having and they were amazing! He said they were easy to make, plus they tasted delicious. He preferred the one made with Braeburn apples and I liked the tart made with Granny Smith.

Very simple dessert. A good idea for a quick apple pie without the effort of a traditional apple pie. My only complaint is that it is a little bit bland. Might add a little more sugar and cinnamon next time.

This recipe turned out great but i suggest crushing some graham crackers finely(1 cup) and sprinkling some on the top of the cream cheese and then mixing the remainder with the cinnamon and suger and cover the top of the apples
