Apple Crumble Cheesecake 苹果金宝芝士蛋糕
This Apple Crumble Cheesecake is refreshing and yummy. The crispy streusel which comprises of chunks of diced apple and raisins balances well with the light and not so sweet cheesecake. If you have been following my cheesecake recipes, you’ll know that this is a very basic cheesecake which I’ve shared many times before on my blog. It’s just a tweak of mix and match with slight changes of flavour to the cake.
It is really easy to make this baked cheesecake by steam baking. Firstly prepare the biscuit base and place inside the refrigerator for later use. Then cook and thicken the chopped green apples with a little cornstarch solution and set aside to cool. Prepare the crumble with butter, dry demerara sugar and flour (you may also add some cinnamon powder as it works well hand in hand with apples). Just rub the crumble with your finger tips together to lumpy and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Making the cheesecake is really easy, just follow the easy instructions with the egg separation method and steam bake at low heat for about 45-50 minutes. Leave the the cheesecake to cool and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. You’ll definitely love this cheesecake with every bite.
