- I'm sharing with y'all
0:03
the last recipe for apples
0:06
that I'm preparing to share with y'all.
0:09
Bobby's gonna be bringing in the fifth and final recipe,
0:14
but this is it for me with the apples y'all,
0:16
everything we've made has been so good.
0:20
All right.
0:22
We might have saved best for last,
0:24
I don't know.
0:27
I don't know how you feel about cheesecake,
0:30
that's what we're doing this time.
0:32
And I'm gon' start with two cups of flour,
0:37
and half a cup of brown sugar,
0:42
and we just gonna cut that in.
0:44
I'm gonna bring it down here,
0:45
where it's not so high up for me.
0:49
So I'm just gonna mix up
0:54
our brown sugar and our flour.
0:59
And now, I'm gonna take two sticks of butter, y'all.
1:03
And this'll, this is,
1:05
this process will take a few minutes,
1:06
but, that's all right,
1:08
it'll be worth it.
1:10
So I'm just slicing
1:13
our two sticks of butter,
1:16
into our flour and brown sugar.
1:21
That'll just make it easier for me to cut it in,
1:23
rather than just dropping the whole stick in there.
1:27
See what I'm saying? (Paula chuckling)
1:30
Okay.
1:32
This is so nice and soft though.
1:34
It's not gonna be any problem.
1:43
Okay.
1:46
I love
1:49
I love saving these,
1:51
and using 'em to butter my pan with,
1:54
so things won't stick.
1:56
Just take it and turn it,
1:57
and butter your pan.
1:58
But on this particular recipe,
2:03
we are recommending that
2:04
that you cover your 13x9x2 in tin foil.
2:09
So we're not gonna need that for that purpose.
2:13
So we just gon' cut this into our flour mixture,
2:17
until it's like crumbly.
2:20
All right, I got the bulk of it
2:22
blended with the pastry cutter,
2:25
but then I have come in at the end
2:28
with one of my rubber spatulas,
2:31
and just incorporated the little bit
2:33
that maybe didn't get quite
2:37
mixed together good using this,
2:39
so, finished it up with a spatula,
2:43
and it's nice,
2:44
and good and crumbly.
2:47
So, I'm gonna take our dough now,
2:52
and I'm gon' try to press it.
2:54
(alarm buzzing) Uh-oh.
2:56
- [Theresa] Sorry about that.
2:57
- What's going on, Theresa?
3:02
- [Theresa] This timer doesn't (indistinct)
3:04
- All right, so I'm gonna take out our dough.
3:10
And like I said,
3:11
I'm gon' press this out as evenly as I can.
3:30
Okay.
3:32
Here we go.
3:33
I may have to
3:35
spray my hands
3:38
with a little non-stick.
3:40
I don't know, we'll see.
3:41
There's plenty of butter there,
3:43
so I should be able to do it.
3:48
And this too will take just a few minutes
3:52
to get it perfectly even.
3:54
This does take a few minutes y'all,
3:55
but just be patient and you'll get it.
3:59
All right.
4:00
I've got it as evenly as I can
4:05
for the moment,
4:06
and now, I'm gon' put this
4:07
in a preheated 350-degree oven,
4:11
and I'm gonna bake this for about 15 minutes,
4:14
or until it's light brown.
4:16
While our crust is baking,
4:19
I'm gon' go ahead and make
4:20
the strudel topping for our cheesecake.
4:24
And to do that,
4:25
I'm using my brown sugar,
4:28
oatmeal,
4:30
you know, why did I get out such a small bowl?
4:33
I don't know.
4:36
I forgot what I was making.
4:40
Okay, so I'll transfer it to a little larger bowl.
4:44
And my flour,
4:48
and now a nice, softened stick of butter.
4:55
And this topping kinda reminds me of
5:01
you know, kinda like a topping
5:03
that you would put on a apple crisp,
5:05
or even like the sweet potato casserole.
5:10
You know how it's got that strudel crunch top to it?
5:15
Well, this is gonna be just about like that.
5:18
So, all we wanna do is just cut our shortening,
5:22
our butter into our dry ingredients,
5:26
and we're gonna have it ready,
5:27
and our crust should be ready in just one minute.
5:33
I've had it in the oven about 10 minutes.
5:37
All right, now I'm gonna
5:42
let these take over,
5:44
which is what God intended for us to use,
5:48
so I'm just gonna work that in with my hands.
5:53
And my hands will help soften the butter even more,
5:57
because, I'm still alive. (Paula laughing)
6:00
And my, and my hands are warm,
6:03
which is a good sign, y'all.
6:06
Every day you wake up on the right side of the dirt,
6:09
it's a good day.
6:13
Just take care of your problems and move on.
6:18
And if you don't have no problems,
6:21
even better.
6:24
Sit back and kick your feet up,
6:26
and wait for your apple cheesecake to get ready.
6:34
Okay.
6:36
It's coming together so good,
6:38
and you can see it's crumbly.
6:40
It's gonna be delicious y'all.
6:42
And I know it may seem like a kind of a long recipe,
6:46
but it's really not.
6:47
You know, if you go ahead,
6:48
and get up all your ingredients,
6:50
have them set up,
6:51
it's just like three steps.
6:54
And my next step,
6:58
really my last step,
7:02
is
7:04
making the cream cheese,
7:07
the actual cheesecake.
7:09
I have two eight-ounce packages
7:12
of cream cheese
7:16
in my bowl,
7:20
and I'm going to beat these
7:24
until they're smooth,
7:25
no lumpy, lump, lumps,
7:29
with my sugar.
7:31
Then I'll be adding one egg at the time,
7:34
and then we're gonna
7:36
pour that on top of our warm crust.
7:41
Okay, so here we go.
7:45
I'm gon' let this get beat up for a few minutes,
7:49
(mixer whirring)
7:58
just to make sure it's nice and creamy.
8:02
Now I'm gonna add my sugar,
8:08
and just beat all this
8:10
until it's nice and incorporated.
8:18
And I'm going to stop
8:22
a couple a times,
8:23
and incorporate the ingredients on the side of my bowl,
8:28
into the bottom part of my bowl,
8:31
because they won't get mixed in good,
8:33
if you don't,
8:34
if you don't do that, so..
8:39
(mixer whirring)
8:42
Gonna add my eggs one at the time.
8:45
(mixer whirring)
8:58
All right, we're gon' get those sides back down again.
9:05
Oh my gosh,
9:06
that looks so good and so creamy.
9:10
I think cheesecake
9:12
might be one of America's favorite desserts,
9:15
don't you think?
9:16
Every restaurant you go into,
9:18
has some form a cheesecake.
9:21
All right, my last egg.
9:25
And while I got that stopped,
9:26
I'm going gonna go ahead and add my vanilla too.
9:32
And I'm gon' put about two teaspoons of vanilla.
9:41
(mixer whirring)
9:48
We're gettin' close!
9:50
(mixer whirring)
10:06
Look at this.
10:07
You know, it's been a little bit,
10:09
since I've made a cheesecake,
10:13
so I'm excited.
10:15
All right, now we're gonna pour this
10:18
onto our warm crust.
10:26
And the reason we precooked
10:29
the crust,
10:33
is we wanted to make completely sure
10:36
that it got done all the way through.
10:38
So, a a good way to see that that happens
10:42
is precooking it for a few minutes.
10:49
I'm gon' have to turn this around.
10:51
I'm right-handed, not left-handed.
10:56
Whoa.
11:00
Michael, Groover's gonna be sorry
11:01
he left when he did, Daddy.
11:05
He went and took a nap too, too soon.
11:24
Right?
11:33
All right.
11:34
I think I'm gon' just leave that in that bowl.
11:36
All right.
11:37
I've got my diced apples, y'all,
11:41
and I'm tossing some cinnamon in there,
11:45
and some fresh, grated nutmeg that I grated,
11:51
and a little bit of sugar.
11:56
So I'm just gonna toss those
12:01
around in the spices and the sugar.
12:06
So this is where we get our apple cheesecake.
12:20
So we're gon' to do those as evenly as we can.
12:47
This is like having your cake,
12:50
and eating it too, you know?
12:51
I mean, it's like a apple pie,
12:55
a Grandgirl's Apple Cake from Georgia,
12:59
and a cheesecake. (Paula laughing)
13:03
It's a wonderful world.
13:07
Alrighty.
13:10
All right, and last comes our streusel.
13:21
And this too should be
13:22
just kinda evenly sprinkled over.
13:40
Oh, this looks so good.
13:44
Michael is gon' love this,
13:45
'cause his favorite
13:48
dessert that his mama made was a
13:52
was a apple crunch,
13:54
or a pear crunch?
13:59
Anyway, it had a crunchy top on it.
14:02
And this has reminded me of what he's described
14:07
that his mother used to bake for him on his birthday.
14:10
(Paula chuckling)
14:13
That, and a banana cake.
14:14
Okay, that's it.
14:16
It's going in the oven, y'all.
14:19
350.
14:24
And let's see,
14:26
let me
14:27
jog my memory.
14:35
It doesn't really say how long it's gonna take.
14:38
- [Theresa] I think it does,
14:39
I think it says 25 minutes.
14:39
- I didn't see it anywhere,
14:41
but that doesn't mean it's not there, Theresa.
14:43
- [Theresa] At 350, bake 30 minutes..
14:45
- Okay.
14:46
- [Theresa] Until filling is set.
14:47
- Okay, okay, it's hot now.
14:49
It's hot,
14:50
'cause it just came out of the oven.
14:53
30 minutes at 350, right?
14:55
- [Theresa] That's correct.
14:55
- It's time to taste our cheesecake.
14:59
I don't know if it's cool enough, y'all,
15:03
but we're gonna try.
15:08
And I'm gon' try to make sure
15:11
I don't chew on tin foil.
15:14
Like I said, I really think it's
15:20
a little too soon to be cutting this,
15:22
but we are gonna do it anyway.
15:27
It looks good, y'all.
15:28
Look at that.
15:32
And that tin foil kept our
15:35
plate so clean.
15:39
All right, now for a little drizzle
15:46
of caramel.
15:52
Who's hungry? (Paula laughing)
15:56
That looks very, very good.
16:00
I love the
16:04
combination,
16:05
like I said, it's
16:08
it reminds me of my regular cheesecake.
16:10
It reminds me of
16:18
Grandgirl's Apple Cake,
16:23
a lot of nice flavors going on.
16:30
Mm.
16:32
Come taste Theresa,
16:33
get your fork.
16:38
And you bite into those fresh apples.
16:44
Mm.
16:47
I love the streusel topping on it.
16:49
- [Theresa] I like all of it. (Theresa laughing)
16:51
I like a crust.
16:52
- Mm-hmm, I do too.
16:56
And the apple,
16:57
the, the..
17:00
the way the apple kept its shape,
17:04
and it's a little crispy,
17:06
it's really good. - [Theresa] I like it warm.
17:08
- Mm-hmm, I do too.
17:09
- [Theresa] I know that cheesecake is supposed to be..
17:12
- Cold. - Cold, but that's very good.
17:16
- It's delicious.
17:18
With fall coming up,
17:19
and pumpkin season is gonna be upon us very, very soon,
17:26
I think..
17:27
and between the pumpkin and the apples being in season,
17:30
I think y'all will love this.
17:32
- [Theresa] It is amazing.
17:34
- So you know that we are sending y'all loving best dishes,
17:39
and we highly recommend this one, y'all.
17:43
It's a winner.
