Directions

Description - Step 1

Prep the Crust

Crush the digestive biscuits evenly and mix them with melted butter and sugar until the texture feels like damp sand. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, making sure the edges are level for an even base. Bake the crust at 160°C until lightly set, then cool completely.

Description - Step 2

Mix the Filling

Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture loosens and looks uniform. Fold in the sour cream and vanilla so the batter stays steady without extra air bubbles. Add the flour and eggs next, combining slowly to keep the final texture creamy and not overly airy.

Description - Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place the pan inside a larger tray and pour hot water around it to create a gentle steam environment. Bake until the edges are set, but the centre has a soft wobble. Rest the cheesecake in the open oven for one hour.

Description - Step 4

Cook the Apple Topping

In a skillet, melt the butter and add the apple slices along with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples soften and their juices release. Stir in a cornstarch slurry and simmer until the mixture thickens into a glossy coating that holds to a spoon. Cool completely.

 

Description - Step 5

Finish and Chill

Once the cheesecake reaches room temperature, refrigerate it for at least six hours. When it firms up, spoon the cooled apple topping over the surface, spreading gently to avoid sinking. Slice using a hot knife for clean edges.
