According to SAEDNEWS, apple caramel cheesecake bites are one of the easiest and quickest desserts to make. Here’s a top-notch recipe for this delightful treat.
1 cup (220 grams) butter, at room temperature
1½ cups flour
½ cup (100 grams) ground almonds
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
500 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 cups chopped apples (3-4 medium apples)
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup flour
½ cup (100 grams) ground almonds
½ cup (110 grams) butter, at room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20×30 cm baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, brown sugar, ground almonds, salt, and cinnamon). Add the butter and combine using a fork until the mixture forms crumbs. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan.
Prepare the Apples: Meanwhile, mix the chopped apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, grated lemon zest, and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour the mixture over the baked crust and spread it evenly. Add the apple mixture on top.
Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground almonds. Add the butter and combine using a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the apple layer. Bake for another 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it cool, cut into squares, and decorate with caramel sauce before serving.
Enjoy!
