1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar, divided

1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, cream butter and 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Press onto bottom and 1 in. up sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add egg and almond extract; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour into crust.
Place apples in a large bowl. Mix cinnamon sugar and nutmeg; add to apples and toss to coat. Arrange over cream cheese mixture. Bake 5 minutes.
Reduce oven setting to 400°. Bake until apples are tender, 30-35 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

<b>Editor's Note:</b> To toast nuts, place in a dry skillet; cook and stir over low heat until lightly browned.
