Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake

Hello! 

Today, I want to share with you a dessert recipe. I rarely ever make dessert. This is a problem and I think I should probably change that... because dessert is amazing.  And this one is no exception...

Apple Cinnamon Cheese Cake.... need I say more?  

I didn't think so... So here we go.

What You Will Need:
For the Crust:

• 1/2 Cup butter, softened 
• 1/4 Cup packed brown sugar
• 1 Cup Flour
• 1/4 Cup oats
• 1/2 Tsp. ground cinnamon

For the Filling:

• 2 Packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 Can, 14 ounces, Sweetened Condensed milk
• 1/2 Cup apple juice concentrate 
• 3 eggs

For the Topping:

• 2 Medium Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 Tbsp. Butter
• Splash of lemon juice
• 1 Tsp. Cornstarch
• 1/4 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 Cup Apple juice concentrate

To Make:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and butter. Add flour, oats, and cinnamon.

-Press mixture onto the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the side of a 9 inch spring-form pan. This is a spring-form pan in case you didn't know. :)

-Bake for 10 minutes. Once done set aside to cool. Turn oven down to 325 degrees.

-In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a mixer until fluffy.

-Beat in milk, apple juice, and eggs until smooth.

-Pour into crust and bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set.

-Let cool for 10 minutes, then run knife around the edges to loosen crust. 

-Refrigerate over night (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!)

-Go to sleep.... Come back tomorrow and finish.

-In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add the apples and a splash of lemon juice. 

-Cook until crisp-tender (about 5 minutes)

-Let cool to room temp... I get impatient at this point so I just put them in the freezer for a few minutes.

-Arrange apples over cheesecake. Then eat the leftover apples if you have any.

-In a small sauce pan, whisk corn starch, cinnamon, and apple juice over medium heat until smooth.

-Bring to a boil while stirring constantly

-Boil 1 more minute or until thickened.

-Brush over apples immediately.

-Refrigerate one more hour. 

ENJOY! :-)

I rarely ever make this... because you have to let it chill overnight... then chill again.... I just don't have the patience for that! lol. But when I do decide to make it, it really is worth it! So go ahead and practice your self control muscles and give this one a try! 

For His Glory!
