This one is a bit of a collaboration. My mom sent the book, but MIL made it with help from my oldest while I got to enjoy putting the baby to bed. It was a wonderful treat and the hardest part is deciding if it was better as a dessert or as breakfast the next morning :-) This is originally a Taste of Home recipe, tweaked a bit to be able to make it here. Enjoy!
What you need:
1 Kuchenteig - it's a bit sweeter than pizza dough, great for desserts
Apple mixture:
4 cups sliced, peeled apples (the greener, the tarter)
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
For the cheese part:
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp caramel topping
For the Streusel:
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold cubed butter
Peel and slice your apples. Place in a large pan with the butter and cook over medium for 2 minutes. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon and mix in. Cook for 3 minutes. Reduce to low and cook until apples are tender - about 5 minutes.
Combine the cheese ingredients into a small bowl, and the streusel ones into another. Mix the butter into the streusel with a fork until crumbly.
Roll the dough onto a cookie sheet, and pinch the edges up slightly. First spread the cheese topping, then layer the apple topping and sprinkle with the streusel.
Bake at the temperature directed on the dough package. Wonderful hot with a scoop of ice-cream, or also cold as breakfast - if you can save any that is.
