Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake Recipe
Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake
Flour, oats½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
¼ cup quick-cooking oats
¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
½ tsp. cinnamon
Filling: 2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup thawed apple juice concentrate
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Topping: 2 medium tart apples, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cornstarch
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ cup thawed apple juice concentrate
In a small bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, oats, walnuts and cinnamon until well blended. Press onto the bottom and 1 ½ inch up the sides of a greased 9 inch springform pan. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 325 F. for 10 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in milk and apple juice concentrate until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined (batter will be thin). Pour into crust. Return pan to baking sheet.
Bake at 325 F. for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
In a large skillet, cook and stir apples in butter over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Arrange the apples over the cheesecake.
In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, cinnamon and juice concentrate until smooth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Immediately brush over apples. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers. 12 servings
