• - 1/2 cup almond flour
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• - 1 large egg yolk
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the cream cheese filling:
• - 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 2 large eggs
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the topping:
• - 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• - 2 tablespoons apricot preserves, warmed

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Add it to the food processor and pulse until the mixture comes together.
4. Transfer the dough to the prepared springform pan. Press it evenly onto the bottom of the pan and about 1 inch up the sides.
5. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Pour the cream cheese filling into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Arrange the peach slices on top of the cream cheese filling, slightly overlapping each other.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
9. Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
10. Brush the warm apricot preserves over the top of the peaches for a glossy finish.
11. Allow the torte to cool completely before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
12. Slice and serve this delightful Peach and Cream Cheese Torte as a luscious dessert.
