What you need
Steps
Heat the oven to 160C fan and line the base and sides of a 20 cm springform tin with baking paper.
Crush 250 g digestive biscuits to fine crumbs, mix with 100 g melted butter, press into the tin and chill for 15 minutes.
Peel and dice 2 to 3 apples, then cook them in a pan with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon until just soft. Set aside to cool.
Beat 600 g cream cheese with 150 g sugar until smooth, then beat in 3 eggs one at a time and stir in 150 ml soured cream.
Spoon half the cheesecake mix onto the chilled base, spread the cooled apples over it, then cover with the rest of the mix.
Rub 60 g flour, 40 g butter, 40 g sugar and a pinch of cinnamon together to make rough crumble crumbs and scatter over the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the centre still has a slight wobble.
Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly and avoid cracks.
Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, then release the tin and drizzle caramel sauce over the top before slicing.
Tips and common mistakes
Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature first so the batter stays smooth and lump free.
Do not overbake: a wobbly centre sets firm as it cools and gives a creamy texture.
Cool the cooked apples fully before layering or they will make the base soggy.
Use a hot knife wiped clean between cuts for neat slices.
Questions
Can I make it without a springform tin?
A deep loose-bottomed tin works too. A solid tin makes the cheesecake hard to remove, so line it well with a paper sling.
How long does it keep?
Store it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the caramel just before serving so it does not soak into the crumble.
Can I use shop-bought caramel?
Yes, a good quality caramel sauce or dulce de leche works fine. Warm it slightly so it drizzles easily.
