A caramel apple cheesecake with a streusel topping.
0:10
Now, I'm gonna start our crust by
0:13
measuring out two cups
0:30
I've got two sticks of butter that have been softened,
0:40
of light brown sugar.
0:43
I'm gonna put that in.
0:45
And now I'm gonna use a pastry cutter
0:46
to just blend this until it's crumbly.
0:49
Now, if you don't have one of these little cutters,
0:52
you can use a fork or even two bread knives.
0:55
And we want it to have the consistency of cornmeal.
1:00
Like when you're cutting shortening into your biscuits.
1:03
Okay, that's cut in nicely.
1:05
Now, I'm gonna take my casserole dish,
1:08
I've buttered the bottom of it,
1:10
now I'm gonna pour this in.
1:16
And we're just gonna press that down.
1:19
And this is gonna make a fabulous, buttery crust
1:24
And see how easy that's pressing down?
1:27
Now I'm gonna put this in the oven at 350 degrees,
1:31
and I'm gonna let this bake for 15 minutes.
1:36
So, in the oven this goes.
1:45
And the beauty of this recipe is,
1:48
we're not gonna have to let that crust cool.
1:51
We can go ahead and make the cheesecake
1:54
and pour it on there,
1:57
So, there's no wait time on it.
2:00
So, which is, that's great.
2:02
So, come on down here now.
2:04
I've got two eight ounce packages of cream cheese
2:08
that have been softened,
2:10
and I'm gonna add two eggs.
2:19
And a 1/2 a cup of sugar.
2:26
And we're just gonna cream this
2:28
until the sugar has dissolved.
2:35
Okay, so that's nice and creamy.
2:38
I'm gonna let that sit there for a second,
2:40
because I wanna come over here
2:41
and I wanna make our apple topping.
2:44
And I've got three Granny Smith Apples
2:47
that I've diced very finely.
2:50
I'm gonna add two tablespoons of sugar.
2:54
I'm gonna add a 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon,
3:00
and a 1/4th of a teaspoon of nutmeg.
3:04
And I'm just gonna toss that together.
3:10
Now we're gonna take our crust out of the oven.
3:12
It's been baking for 15 minutes.
3:21
Look at that pretty crust.
3:24
Doesn't that look good?
3:33
Now we're gonna pour our cream cheese
3:37
over our crust, and it's all right that the crust is warm
3:41
because this is going back in the oven.
3:51
All right, now we're just gonna take our apple topping,
3:56
and I'm just gonna distribute that
3:58
across the top of our cheesecake.
4:07
So, as good as this looks y'all,
4:10
we're not done with it yet.
4:12
I'm gonna take a quick break and when we come back,
4:14
I'm gonna show you how to put
4:16
the streusel topping on this,
4:18
and we're gone put it in the oven.
4:19
And before you know it,
4:21
we're gonna have another one of those
4:23
wonderful winter warmers.
4:30
So, step on in here, y'all.
4:32
Let me show you how to make this quick streusel topping.
4:35
I've got one cup of all purpose flour.
4:38
I've got one stick of butter that's at room temperature.
4:42
I've got one cup of packed light brown sugar,
4:47
and a 1/2 a cup of quick cooking oats.
4:51
And I'm just gonna take my fork
4:52
and cut all that in together.
4:55
And that doesn't take, but just a second,
4:57
'cause I got that butter really nice
5:00
and at room temperature.
5:02
So, for any of y'all that are just joining us,
5:05
today's been all about winter warmers.
5:09
Dishes that just taste so good
5:11
when there's a nip in the air
5:14
and nothing will satisfy ya,
5:16
but something warm going down your belly.
5:21
Okay, so we got our streusel mixed up.
5:23
Now, I'm just gonna take this and just sprinkle it over
5:27
the top of those apples.
5:31
Streusel is a German word for sprinkling,
5:35
which is just what I'm doing now.
5:39
Looks perfectly delicious, doesn't it?
5:41
Okay, so I'm gonna put this in the oven, 350 degrees.
5:45
I'm gonna bake this for about 30 minutes,
5:48
And what better than a warm caramel apple cheesecake
5:52
with a streusel topping,
5:54
and a little caramel drizzled on top of it?
6:02
I wish you were here to have some with me,
6:04
but since you're not, I'll have your bite for ya.
