Apple Crumble Cheesecake and Sweetly Raw Chocolate Giveaway

October 23, 2014 By sweet_raw In cake 2 Comments

Today I have a really fantastic Autumn inspired Apple Crumble Cheesecake recipe to share with you. I combined the creamy filling from my caramel apple cheesecake (sans the caramel) and added a crumble which acts as the crust and topping, along with a thick layer of soft apple cinnamon filling. This was a big hit with my friends and I will definitely be making it again and again. It's perfect for this time of year.

Raw Apple Crumble Cheesecake

Makes a 6" cake

Crust

2/3 cup almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped, dried apples
1/2 cup dates
1 1/2 teaspoons water

Process the almonds, coconut, and apples down to flour in a food processor. Add the dates and process until they are completely broken down. Add the water and pulse until the mixture is moist and crumbly. Set aside a lightly packed 2/3 cup of the mixture and press the rest into a 6" spring form pan.

Filling

2 cups peeled, diced apples
3/4 cup cashews
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons melted coconut butter
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Pinch of salt

Blend the first 5 ingredients until completely smooth. Add the coconut butter and oil. Blend again to incorporate. Pour over the crust. Chill in the freezer for 2-3 hours and then transfer to the fridge for at least 8 hours.

Apple Filling

2 large apples, peeled and quartered
2 dates, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Process all ingredients down to small pieces in a food processor. DO NOT over process or it will turn to applesauce. Spread this over the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle the rest of the crumble on the top.
