Ingredients:
· 150 gr biscuits, crushed
· 80 gr butter, melted
· 600 gr cream cheese
· 100 gr honey
· 50 gr flour
· 3 eggs
· 5 teaspoons cinnamon
· 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
· 600-700 gr apples, diced in small cubes
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven at 180o C.
2. Crush the biscuits using a plastic bag and a rolling pin or a chopper/ food processor.
3. Mix the crushed biscuits with 80 gr melted butter.
4. Pour the biscuit mixture into the pan and flatten well.
5. Bake for 5 minutes.
6. After 5 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and let it rest.
7. In a saucepan on medium heat, add apples and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix to combine.
8. Cook until the apples are just a little soft. You want them to remain cubes and not too soft. They will cook more in the oven.
9. When done, turn off the heat and add 50 gr honey. Mix gently to combine.
10. In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and 50 gr honey. Mix until incorporated.
11. Then, one at a time, add the eggs and mix well.
12. Add vanilla extract, flour and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix just until combined.
13. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pan.
14. Gently, spoon the apples on top.
15. Place the pan onto another bigger tray. Add some boiling water in the bigger tray to prevent the cheesecake from cracking while baking.
16. Bake for minimum one hour at medium-low heat.
17. After baking, let it cool completely at room temperature.
18. Refrigerate for a few hours at least or (recommended) overnight.
P.S. If you want the cream cheese base sweeter or if your apples are a little tart, you can add 100 gr honey instead of 50 gr. My apples were very sweet so I didn’t need more than 50 gr of honey in the cream cheese.
