Apple Tart

Crust:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3 Tbls. powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup yogurt

Filling:
1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
2 Tbls. honey
1 large egg

Topping:
2-4 apples, cored and cut into 1/4" slices
cardamom
allspice
honey

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place rack in center of oven. Grease 9 inch pie pan. For nicer presentation and serving, a springform pan is good, but a regular pie tin or cake pan is fine.

Crust: Stir together flour and sugar. Cut in butter and yogurt until the dough forms. Press the dough onto the bottom and one inch up the sides of the pan.

Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the honey and mix well. Blend in the egg. Pour the filling into the crust.

Toss the apple slices, a small amount of honey, and a sprinkle each of cardamom and allspice together, to coast the apple slices. Place apple slices in a decorative fashion on the top of the tart. You want it to be about double layered with apple slices.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown (apples are soft when pierced with a fork), and filling is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
