Healthy Caramel Apple Cheesecake - walnuts

Method

• Slice the apple into 8 wedges, remove the peel and core, and chop into 2 mm thick pieces.
• Mix the water and sugar together over heat and heat the mixture until it starts to turn golden-brown.
• Add the apples from Step 1 and stir everything together briskly.
• Cover the pan and steam cook the apples for 5 minutes over low heat.
• Turn the apples over a few times to prevent burning.
• When the apples are soft and golden, stop the heat and leave them to cool.
• Roughly crush up the biscuits for the base of the cake and blend them finely in a food processor along with the walnuts.
• Combine the mixture with melted butter until the biscuit crumbs are all moist.
• Line a cake tin with parchment paper and then pack the mixture from Step 5 into the bottom of the tin with the back of a spoon.
• Place the tin in the fridge to chill the base.
• Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.
• Lastly add the cake flour and blend the mixture well again.
• Take the tin from Step 6 out of the fridge and scatter the apples from Step 4 over the top.
• Pour in the batter from Step 7.
• Bake the cake at 180C for 35 minutes.
• The cake is done.
• Remove it from the cake tin once it has completely cooled.
• When you cut the cake you'll be able to see some caramel apples peeking out.
• This cake tastes even better when chilled well.
• Reference: I used this brand of biscuits this time.
• 5 biscuits should add up to around 30 g. You could use plain biscuits instead or a different brand entirely if you'd prefer.
