What it is

"Golden baked apple slices, cinnamon, and sugar top this delicious cheesecake."

A shortbread-style pressed base in a 9-inch springform, a plain cream-cheese filling, and warm baked apple slices arranged on top under cinnamon sugar and sliced almonds.

Base — ⅓ cup sugar · ⅓ cup margarine or butter · 1 Tbsp shortening · ¼ tsp vanilla · 1 cup all-purpose flour · ⅛ tsp salt. Apples — 4 cups peeled, cored, sliced cooking apples (Golden Delicious or Granny Smith), baked covered at 400° for 15 minutes. Filling — two 8 oz packages cream cheese · ½ cup sugar · ½ tsp vanilla · 2 eggs. Topping — ⅓ cup sugar · 1 tsp ground cinnamon · ¼ cup sliced almonds.

Bake 400° for 40 minutes or till golden. Cool, remove the springform sides, chill 4 to 24 hours before serving. Makes 12 servings.

Notes

Filed to Printed\ on the folder test — printed, no handwriting, published source.

The nutrition panel is the dating clue. Per-serving nutrition analysis printed alongside a recipe became standard in American food magazines and cookbooks from the late 1980s onward, so this clipping is from that era or later — later than most of the handwritten cards around it in the box.

The unusual step, and the reason the recipe works, is that the apples are pre-baked separately and gone on warm rather than raw — which is why they finish golden instead of weeping into the filling.

Not transcribed verbatim in full, per the standing call on printed material; the scan is the reference.
