Directions
CRUST:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Lightly spray jelly roll pan with a vegetable spray
or oil. Cream butter (margarine), cream cheese and brown sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
Beat in egg and almond extract (or vanilla). Stir in flour and salt until blended.
With
your fingers, press dough into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
FILLING:
make the filling, blend flour, sugar, and spices in a small bowl and toss in peeled, sliced apples.
Put the apple mixture on top of the crust.
TOPPING:
- For the topping, stir the
flour, brown sugar, and spices in a small bowl. Cut in the butter (margarine) until the
mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs over the sliced apples.
Place the pan
in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping
has browned. Cool in the pan.
These can be made a day ahead, covered well, and stored in
a cool place. Cut just before serving to the size that best fits the crowd. Great served with some
ice cream.
