Apple Crumble Baked Cheesecake Recipe!

Hello lovelies,

Yes guys… I’m back… back again with another baked cheesecake. Quite frankly, I just can’t get enough of them.

I promised you in my last baked cheesecake recipe that I’d be back with a autumnal version and I’m not one to break a promise. You best believe the moment the seasonal clock dinged autumn, I got my butt into gear and got baking a autumnal cheesecake for you all. Boy, did I have fun doing so.

If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know my heart sings autumn and every year I look forward to baking and sharing with you the best autumnal bakes. With that being said, can you believe I’ve never shared a autumnal cheesecake. That’s blooming criminal.

That had to change ASAP and honestly, I don’t think there’s a cheesecake that sings autumn more than a apple crumble cheesecake with delicious spices running throughout. I can’t get enough and I think you guys will love this too!

So, if this cheesecake tickles your tastebuds and gets you desperate to try a slice, you know the drill. Keep scrolling below and you’ll find the recipe.

How To Make The Base:

• Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients, line the base and sides of a 8” loose-bottomed cake tin with parchment paper and preheat the oven 180C / 160C Fan / Gas Mark 4.
• Secondly, in a food processor, blitz the 200g of digestive biscuits into a crumb.
• Add 0.5tsp of ground cinnamon and 75g of melted butter into the processor and pulse until everything is combined and the crumbs are well coated.
• Tip the coated crumbs into the pre-lined cake tin and press evenly across the base of the tin.
• Place the tin into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to cool whilst you make the filling.
• Reduce the heat of the oven to 160C / 140C Fan / Gas Mark 3.

How To Make The Filling:

• Put 500g of mascarpone, 400g of cream cheese, 150g of caster sugar, 3tbsp of cornflour, 3 medium eggs and 2tbsp of vanilla paste into a bowl and using an electric whisk, beat the ingredients together until thick and smooth.
• Set to one side.

How To Make The Apple Topping:

• Next, peel, core and dice the 4 Granny Smith apples into small chunks.
• Toss the apples with 0.5tsp of caster sugar and 0.25tsp of ground cinnamon.

How To Make The Crumble Topping:

• In a large bowl, mix together the 50g of plain flour and 40g of light brown sugar together.
• Next, using your fingertips, rub in the 50g of cold butter into the dry ingredients until it forms small clumps.

How To Assemble The Cheesecake:

• It’s time to assemble!
• Now that the base is baked, spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the base in a even layer.
• Scatter the apples over the top of the filling.
• Followed by sprinkling the crumble topping across the top of the apples.
• Place the cheesecake into the oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes until golden brown and the centre of the cheesecake still has a very slight wobble (the cheesecake will continue to firm up as it cools).
• Once baked, take the cheesecake out the oven and allow to cool inside the oven for around 2 hours. Then, remove from the oven, cool to room temperature and place the cheesecake into the fridge to chill overnight.
• The next morning, carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin.
• Finally, to finish the cheesecake off, drizzle over some carnation caramel.
