Bake off winner: fresh apples, carmel. cream cheese
 

This award-winning recipe was prepared on a jelly roll pan and apple slices, carmel, and cream cheese formed alternating, diagonal rows. Perhaps from the mid 60's to early 70's era. This had been a big hit with myself and my childhood family members. I would love to prepare the recipe.

No pastry?
You have me curious as to the recipe ... I hope that you will share it with us!

sounds delish! i'd love to try this one.all it needs is cinnamon. what holds it all together?

Sounds like Apple Pie '63 Caramel Cream Cheese Apple Pie

Yummy -- it would be easier to make it smaller for just the two of us.

It does sound like the above Pillsbury link. In the comments, someone noted that the original recipe had the caramel and cream cheese in diagonal lines. If you wanted to do that, you could follow the recipe in the Pillsbury link, but after doing the apple layer, follow the instructions from this link (where they changed the recipe to use a bunch of shortcuts): http://bakeatmidnite.com/caramel-apple-pie-bars/#


"Spoon caramel sauce in diagonal lines across the top of the apple, spacing each strip of caramel about 2-3 inches apart.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg yolk and sugar until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture in diagonal lines in between the caramel lines.

Sprinkle the caramel lines with chopped walnuts."

A big thanks to everyone for finding my Recipe! I plan to make this once I reach my weight loss goal as my reward. I hope some of you will enjoy this winner.

Oh, my goodness. My diet may have just gone down the drain! Just looking at the Apple '63 recipe, had me drooling.

Good luck, newbe, and I hope you reach your goal really soon, because I can't imagine waiting for a couple of years to make that like I would have to, to reach my goal. :shock:

Yes, this sounds like a wonderful recipe, but is way over the top in sugar. I would put no sugar in the crust, or at most one Tablespoon. With the caramels, there is no need for sugar in the filling, surely not one cup. I use Wolf River apples and they need no sugar at all. Depending on the sweetness of the apple you are using, maybe 1/4 cup would do. And then there is more sugar in the topping.
We need to find recipes that use less sugar. And we can adjust recipes to use less sugar.

I have a bunch of lemons to use, and I'm wondering how this would work layered with lemon curd and cream cheese. Hmmm...

Let me know if you try it, as it sounds like a yummy idea.

Boy does that sound delish, I cannot wait to make this

Thanks for this post...Looks yummy..

I'd rather have caramel then chocolate. My favorite dessert is a fresh apple slices with warm caramel sauce poured over and then topped with chopped pecans.
