Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 170oC gas 3. Grind the cashews and sugar in a food processor. Add the flour, salt and spices and blend for 5 seconds. Add butter, blend until moist clumps form. Press into a 23cm springform time at least 7cm deep. Bake for 25 minutes until golden, cool while you make the filling.
  • 2. Cook the apple in boiling water for 2 minutes until just tender but still holding its shape. Drain and cool. Combine the mascarpone and cream cheese, sugar, vanilla seeds, sour cream and a pinch of salt and beat together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the egs, 2 at a time. Transfer a third of the filling to the prepared crust. Top with the apple and dust with cinnamon, then pour in the remaining mix. Pour the toffee over the top and swirl into the mixture with a blunt knife. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave to cool for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for 4 hours.

    • I might have done something wrong with this recipe, but I followed it to the letter and had a few problems.My mixture become quite liquid, so subsequently the apples sank to the bottom, and I couldn't add the toffee sauce because it would have sunk too, also the mixture started leaking out the bottom of the springform tin!! I'd used all the cheese I had so I couldn't make the mixture any thicker, I'd suggest leaving out the sour cream as I think that was what ruined mine.

    I'm always looking for different cheesecake recipes and this is different! The apple counteracts some of the richness. You only need a slither (then you can come back for more!).
