 | | 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:
- To 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.
