In medium bowl with electric mixer, beat 6 tablespoons softened butter, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until smooth. Stir in 1cup all-purpose flour until soft dough forms.

2.) Place apples in shallow pan, cover with foil, and bake 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/3 cup sugar. Beat in egg, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt until smooth; spoon into partially baked pie shell.

3.) Arrange warm, partially cooked apple slices on top of cream cheese layer. Combine remaining 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Top with almonds. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until crust is brown and apples are tender. Cool before cutting.
