Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust:

1. If you're making a gluten-free dessert, skip the graham cracker crust steps and move straight to the main ingredients.

Main Ingredients:

1. Arrange apple slices in a circular overlapping pattern on graham crumbs.

   
2. In a bowl, beat eggs, almond extract, sugar, melted butter, cream cheese and flour until blended. Spread over apples and sprinkle with cinnamon.

   
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 45 minutes and remove sides of pan. Can be served warm or cold.

Gluten-free Option:

1. Place filling in porcelain ramekins. Top with apple slices and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

Optional Toppings:

1. Option 1: Drizzle with your favorite liqueur (such as Amaretto).

   
2. Option 2: Top with a small portion of ice cream (check for FfL-ingredients).

Recipe Notes

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free ingredients, if necessary. If you can't find gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, bake crustless in porcelain ramekins.

We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
