Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST:

6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
Up to 1 tablespoon water (if needed)

FOR THE CHEESE FILLING:

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
zest of 1 lemon

FOR THE FRUIT AND NUT FILLING:

2/3 cup pecans (or walnuts, finely chopped)
1 tablespoon honey
2-3 apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

Lightly grease an 8-inch spring-form pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make the crust: Throw all the crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined. If it looks a little dry, add a couple teaspoons cold water and pulse. Press into the pan, making a 1-inch rim. Bake 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and set aside. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
For the cheese filling, beat together the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth. In a small bowl, stir together the nuts and 1 tablespoon honey until all the nuts are coated. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, spices, and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar.
Spread the cream cheese filling over the tart crust. Sprinkle the nuts over the cheese in an even layer. Place the apple slices on top in an even layer. Bake for 50-55 minutes at 375 degrees, until the apples are tender and golden.
