When apples are in season, instead of making
apple pie why not try this delectable Apple Cheesecake!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar
- 50g butter
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large green apples, peeled and sliced
- Prenzel
Sour Apple Schnapps
- 250g cream cheese
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp. finely grated lemon rind
- 1/2 cup cream
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180°c.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a
large bowl, stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs,
make a well in the centre and pour in the milk,
mix quickly with a knife to make a soft dough.
Knead the dough lightly on a floured board, then
roll out large enough to line the base and sides
of a 23cm loose bottom flan tin.
Cover the base with apple slices and drizzle
with Sour Apple schnapps.
In a food processor combine the cream cheese,
sugar, lemon juice, eggs and 1 tsp. Sour Apple
Schnapps. Process until the mixture becomes smooth,
pulse in the lemon rind. Pour over apples.
Cook for 40-45 minutes or until firm and just
golden. Serve with whipped cream.
