From Denny: Autumn apples are arriving soon and here is the perfect recipe to try out for the season. The only step that takes time is slicing fresh apples quite thin. This recipe is faster with the use of the apple cinnamon flavored muffin mix from Martha White.
Their flour is the absolute best for baked goods and is a favorite here in the South. Just in case you are not living in the South or not familiar with this brand I've linked the muffin mix from their site. Their prices are quite reasonable online or in the store.
It's ALL good reminds us of the sweetness in life!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1(7-oz.) pkg. Martha White Apple Cinnamon Flavored Muffin Mix

Topping
1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
4 cups peeled and thinly sliced golden delicious apples
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Make crust: Beat butter, 1⁄3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer at medium-high speed until blended.

3. Make topping: Stir together 1⁄3 cup sugar, cinnamon and nuts in large bowl. Add apples and toss to coat. Spoon over cream cheese layer. Place on rimmed baking pan.
4. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F. Bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until brown. (If crust begins to over brown, loosely place a piece of foil over top of pan.) Cool before removing from pan.
Note: If using dark nonstick springform pan, heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
