Thought this sounded intriguing so I just had to pinch it from Kroger's recipe website, and the photo as well. I can't wait to try it! As long as my delivery company keeps me in apples, it should be no problem.

Ingredients

CRUST:
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/3 c butter, melted
1/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
GLAZED APPLES:
4 medium apples, peeled and cored
1/2 stick butter
1/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
FILLING:
2 pkg (8 oz.ea.) cream cheese, softened
2/3 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
4 eggs

Steps:

1. For the crust: Mix all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Press firmly onto the bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
2. For the glazed apples: Cut the apples into thin slices (about 1/4 inch thick). Add remaining ingredients to apples in a large skillet. Cook on medium heat 5 to 10 minutes or until apples begin to caramelize, turning frequently. Arrange apples atop the crust.
3. For the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar, vanilla and lemon peel. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each one, just until blended. Spoon evenly over apples.
