apple crumble cheesecake

12/12/2016

Thought it was about time I published the recipe for my Apple Crumble Cheesecake.
I write as I speak, so bare with me.
Right then.

Lets do the roof first!! ;-) Have you ever made a crumble topping before(Rub 250g Flour, 125g Butter and 250g Sugar together until it looks like... well.... crumble mix)? Great! Do that! But this time instead of putting on top of a fruit filling straight away. We are gonna bake it first. So pour the crumble mix onto a non stick baking sheet (or line a tray with silicone paper) Bake at gas mark 5 for 15-25 mins. Keep an eye on it though.

Next....

Peel, core and chunky dice 3 large Bramley apples. Cook them down with a squeeze of a quarter of a lemon, 50g Quality sugar (I like the taste of natural golden caster sugar). Just cook until the apples start to break down. Then set to one side to cool.

Then...

A large pack of digestive biscuits and half a pack of butter (melted)

Smash up the biscuits then mix with butter.

Pack into a Spring latch tin. This is your Buttery biscuit BASS!!!!

Now go get

1kg cream cheese
4 eggs
350g Sugar
Vanilla pod

Chuck all this in a bowl and mix. If you can't get or don't know how to use a vanilla pod. Use essence or paste.

Chef tip- Try to make sure all your ingredients are the same temperature.

Ok. So now you have a tin with your buttery biscuit base in. A bowl with your creamy-cheesy filling. Apple sauciness and some crumbly goodness.

Now build that bad boy.

Pour in the Cream cheese mix.
Gently spoon on the apple mix
Then Sprinkle on the crumble mix

Bake @ gas mark 4 for around 45 mins. The cheesecake should have a little bit of wobble as it comes out of the oven. Should not have risen.

I've attached some pictures to help. Sorry they are in no particular order!
