Crust: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, flour and ground coffee together. Process until mixture is evenly fine textured. Add the nuts. In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla and coffee liquids together and add them to the nut mixture. Process only until mixed. Turn mixture into a 9" pie plate, spread and press evenly and lightly over the bottom and sides.
Filling: Arrange apple slices around the edge of the crust-covered pan. Chop some pieces into cubes for the center. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and coffee and pour over the apples. Dot the butter over the top.
Preheat oven to 400º F. Bake for 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 350º F. Bake for 15 minutes more, until the apples begin to bubble.
Place a puddle of sauce in a plate and set a piece of the torte on top to serve |  |
