Ingredients:

MMMMMCRUST

1 package French Vanilla Cake Mix
1/3 cup Unsalted butter or margarine
1 large Egg

MMMMMFILLING

8 oz Pkg. cream cheese,softened
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 large Egg
12 oz Jar apricot preserves*
Instructions:
* I used Bing Cherry Preserves and they were delicious.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease 13x9-inch pan. In a
large bowl, combine cake mix, butter and egg; Mix only until crumbly.
Gently spoon 1 1/2 cup of the crumbled mixture into a mixing cup; set
aside for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture on the bottom of the
greased pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a smaller mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar,
vanilla and egg; beat until smooth. Set aside.

Spread preserves evenly over hot crust. Then spread cream cheese
mixture evenly over preserves.

Sprinkle reserved topping mixture over cream cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for an additional 30 minutes or until topping
is light golden brown. Cool to room temperature, then chill until
serving. Store in refrigerator.

Note: The dough must be crumbly. I had to add a bit more flour to the
reserved 1 1/2 cups to get the proper consistency as I mixed it
beyond the crumbly stage and a smooth dough started to form. You
don't want balls of dough, but lumpy CRUMBS!
