I found the recipe and I use to make it with different fruits such as cherries and pineapples.However the apples one is the best specially with the cinnamon flavour.The crust also is wonderfull.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup (35 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar

113 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

filling

227 grams cream cheese, at room temperature

50 grams granulated white sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

topping

50 grams granulated white sugar

1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) ground cinnamon

4 cups (500 ml) granny smith apples, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch (.6 cm) slices (about 3-4 large apples)

1/3 cup (35 grams) sliced pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place rack in center of oven. Grease a 22 cm spring form pan
2. CRUST:
3. In the bowl of your food processor place the flour and sugar. Pulse to blend together. Add butter and pulse until dough just begins to come together. Pat the dough onto the bottom and one inch (2.5 cm) up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator while you make the filling.
4. FILLING:
5. In a bowl,beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and mix well. Blend in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Remove the crust from the fridge and pour in the filling. Return to refrigerator while you prepare the topping.
6. TOPPING: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss the sliced apples in the sugar mixture. Spoon the apples evenly over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with almonds. Place the spring form pan on a larger baking sheet to catch the drips.
7. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and filling is almost set. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve at room temperature. Leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.
