Ingredients

  • For the Caramelized Apple Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups of Peeled & Chopped Apple (190g, 1/2 red gala & 1/2 Granny Smith)
  • 1/3 cup of Granulated or golden sugar (75g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 3 teaspoons of Cornstarch (mixed with 2 teaspoons of water)
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1/4 cup of Butter, melted (50g, vegan butter sticks or any butter you prefer)
  • 1 1/3 cups of All-Purpose Flour (170g)
  • 1/2 cup of Light Brown Sugar (112g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Salt
  • For the Cheesecake Base:
  • 15-16 Golden Oreos or digestive biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon of Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup of Butter, melted (50g, use vegan or any butter you like)

Instructions

For the Topping:
Peel and chop the apples into medium-sized cubes. In a pot, mix chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook on medium heat until the apples are halfway cooked. Add the cornstarch-water mix, let it boil, then remove from heat. Transfer this mixture into a heatproof container and cool it in the fridge.

For the Crumble Topping:
Melt the butter in a bowl, then add brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until it becomes crumbly. Chill this crumble topping for 2-3 hours in the fridge, then bake it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. This can be made ahead and stored unbaked in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

For the Base:
Get an 8-inch springform pan and line the base with parchment paper. Mix Oreo crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it looks like wet sand. Press this mixture evenly onto the base and sides of the pan using a spoon or cup. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F, then let it cool completely.
