Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake
Apple Pie…. the bite that brings summer to an end and starts the beginning of fall. It’s that moment where the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming seasons with our favorite holidays become a reality. This easy Apple Pie Cheesecake is a combination of an old Romanian family recipe mixed with my no bake cheesecake that’s become a competition to grab the last crumb at the table and so it will at yours!
Apple filling:
Grate apples & mix with cinnamon, let them sit
Or immediately sauté in pan til cooked with a table spoon of butter, let it brown then add the apples
Cake batter (tricky so must work quickly)
- preheat oven at 375
- prepare ingredients first. Sugar aside alone , flour mixed in with the cinnamon and all spice
- grease and prep pan first as the batter deflates quick
- separate egg yolks from whites
- beat egg whites on high speed til stiff and slowly add sugar til well incorporated
- slow to medium speed and add yolks til well incorporated
- slow to lowest speed and slowly incorporate flour mixture
- quickly assemble the batter into the pans and place in oven
WATCH the cakes, it’ll bake quick about 10-12 min or until done, not a batter to leave unattended
Let it cool & move onto cream cheese & dont turn off oven as you need it for the crumble topping
Cheesecake Filling
- whip the heavy cream & place In fridge
- whip the cream cheese and slowly incorporate all ingredients
- take whip cream out and incorporate with cream cheese filling very well
- place in fridge for about 20 minutes as the cake and apples continue to cool
Crumble Topping
- mix flour and sugar and incorporate well
- squish cut cold butter with your hands to form crumbles or can do so in stand mixer
- place in a pan and bake for a few minutes or until done in oven
Salted Caramel Sauce
- make the salted caramel
- use a very tall pot for this as the bubbles boil up!
- on high let the maple syrup boil to 226F
- take off heat and stir in heavy cream
- stir in butter next til fully melted and incorporated then add salt to taste. Place in heat resistant container or mason jar Let it FULLY cool before placing it in fridge
- Once all is cooled, assemble cake, you can purchase the cake colors I use on my Amazon list! Let it sit for at least 6 hours or over night the best! Drizzle the caramel before serving and that’s it!
