Description

This Cinnamon-Apple Cheesecake offers a delightful twist on the classic New York style. It features a buttery flour crust supporting a rich, creamy cream cheese filling. Thin slices of Golden Delicious apples are arranged in a beautiful rosette pattern, baking until tender and infused with warm cinnamon spice. The dish is finished with a drizzle of melted orange marmalade, adding a bright, fruity acidity that cuts through the richness of the cheese. Perfect for autumn gatherings or holiday dinners, this dessert combines comforting textures with complex flavors. It is an elegant yet approachable treat that feels indulgent without being overly complicated to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the flour to the butter mixture and blend until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  5. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until golden brown, then remove and let cool.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until just combined.
  9. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  10. Core the apples and slice them thinly, keeping the slices intact.
  11. Arrange the apple slices in overlapping concentric circles on top of the cheesecake filling.
  12. Mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar with the ground cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the apples.
  13. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheesecake center is set.
  14. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until firm.
  15. Before serving, warm the orange marmalade slightly and spoon it over the chilled cheesecake.
