This rich, creamy torte has always been one of my favorite autumn desserts. Mom uses the freshest apples from a local orchard and bakes this treat until the apples are crisp-tender. It tastes as good as it looks. -Alyson Armstrong, Parkersburg, West Virginia

This was fabulous! It was essentially like a cheese cake with apple topping, so it was a hit!

This is an awesome dessert. My husband and I both love it and I've gotten rave reviews when I've shared the finished product with others.

A Thanksgiving tradition for our family!

Made this today for Thanksgiving Dinner. I followed the recipe to the letter. When I make it next time I will let it cook long then the time given. I felt the filling was not fully cooked and the same with the apples. I used cortland apples and they were still crunshy. But in general everyone liked it.

Delicious, I have made in a corning ware pan, when I didn't have a large enough spring pan. Turned out delicious, one of my favorites all year.

I made this for work. Everyone loved it and I was asked for the recipe.

I used a 9 1/2" springform, since that's what I had, and checked it after 45 minutes of baking. It still needed more time. Ended up baking it between 50-55 minutes.

I also lined the pan with parchment paper so it wouldn't leak. It worked well. After it cooled I gently peeled the paper down and used a knife to cut around the base of the torte.

I took this to a reunion luncheon and it was such a hit. Everyone wanted the recipe. By time I went to get some, it was all gone. Now I guess I'll have to make another. It is wonderful.
