1/2 c Butter

2 pk Cream cheese -- 8 oz at room
1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 t Vanilla

3 Apples -- golden delicious, l
1/3 c Sugar
1 t Cinnamon -- ground
1/2 c Orange marmalade -- melted

Preheat oven to 400 degress F. To prepare
the crust, cream the butter and 1/3 cup sugar, and add
the flour and blended until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Pat crumbs into the bottom and 1" up the sides
of a 10" springform pan. Base 10 minutes, until
golden. Cool. In the large bowl of an electric mixer,
cream the cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar together until
blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl several
times. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Pour the mixture
evenly over the baked crust. Core apples and cut into
thin even slices. Arrange apple slices in overlapping
layers over the cream cheese filling. Mix 1/3 cup
sugar and the cinnamon, and sprinkle over top of the
apples. Bake 35 minutes, until the apples are tender
and the cheesecake layer is set. Cool, then chill.
Before serving, spoon the warm orange marmalade over
the top. This cheesecake is pretty as apple slices
bake into cheesecake filling with a cinnamon glaze on
top. Recipe From:Great Old-Fashioned American Desserts
