1/2
cup plus 1 Tbsp. margarine, chilled
3 apples, peeled,
cored, cut in half, and thinly sliced
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 cup plus 1/4
cup white sugar, chilled
1/4 tsp. vanilla

1 cup flour, chilled
1 8-oz. package nondairy cream cheese (try Tofutti brand at

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon
juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup sliced
almonds
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Oil a
9-inch springform pan.
In a skillet over medium
heat, melt 1 tablespoon margarine. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and
cinnamon and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain off and reserve the
liquid.
Cream together 1/2 cup margarine, 1/3 cup
white sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and the flour. Press the crust mixture into
the bottom of the springform pan. Set aside.
In a
food processor, blend together the nondairy cream cheese, lemon juice, 1/2
teaspoon vanilla, cornstarch, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Pour this mixture
over the crust and spread the apples on top.
Bake
for 10 minutes. Drizzle with a couple spoonfuls of the reserved apple liquid,
avoiding the edges of the pan, and continue baking for 25
minutes.
Sprinkle almonds over the top of the torte.
Continue baking until lightly browned. Cool before removing from the pan. Makes
