Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Heavy Based Saucepan
  • oven
  • 8"/20cm Deep Springform Tin

Ingredients
  

Biscuit Base

  • 300 g digestives
  • 150 g unsalted butter

Apple

  • 500 g cooking apples chopped/peeled weight
  • 100 g light brown soft sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 500 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 125 g icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 150 ml double cream

Crumble Topping

  • 120 g plain flour
  • 60 g caster sugar
  • 60 g unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Apple

  • Chop your cooking apples into one inch size pieces and add to a heavy based saucepan.
  • Add the light brown soft sugar, and add 2 tbsps of water.
  • On a low-medium heat, cook the mixture for 5 minutes whilst stirring. After the five minutes of stirring, let the mixture come to a simmer and cover with the lid of the pan.
  • Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes until the apple starts to soften down but still stays in pieces rather than becoming a mush.
  • Strain the mixture of any excess liquid, and leave the mixture to cool fully.

Crumble

  • Make your crumble mixture by rubbing together the sugar, flour and butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
  • Spread the mixture onto a tray and bake in the oven at 180C Fan, for 15-20 minutes until its starting to brown.
  • Once baked, let the mixture cool in a bowl.

Base

  • Blitz the biscuits in a food processor (or smash up) to a fine crumb.
  • Melt the butter, and add it to the biscuits.
  • Pulse them again until combined well. Press down into the bottom of a 8"/20cm deep springform tin and refrigerate for now.

Cheesecake

  • Add the cream cheese, icing sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Whisk together until smooth and combined.
  • Pour in the double cream, and whisk again until thick.
  • Add in ⅔ of the apple mixture and fold together carefully. It may look a little funny in places, so be careful but thorough. Spread the mixture onto the biscuit base.
  • Add ¾ of the crumble mixture on top, and leave the cheesecake to set in the fridge for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Once set, remove from the tin carefully. Add on any spare apple on top, and sprinkle on a little more crumble (for decoration and texture) and even drizzle with some Caramel or Toffee sauce! Enjoy!

Notes

I recommend using a 8"/20cm Deep Springform Tin. Use Cooking/Baking apples for best results as regular eating apples may turn to mush. Full fat cream cheese is recommended for the cheesecake mixture.
