Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake with Walnut Crust
I made this for Thanksgiving dessert last year. It is my favorite dessert to this date! I really wanted a fall cheesecake for Thanksgiving last year that wasn’t pumpkin and after a bit of experimenting I decided apples would be perfect! I hope you all love it!
1/2 cup & 1 tablespoonĀ butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 medium apples, cored and sliced
Cinnamon Apple Glaze (see below)
Preheat oven to 300F. In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup margarine and sugar. Add flour, oats, nuts and cinnamon. Mix well. Press firmly on bottom and halfway up side of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes.
In a big bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add eggs and juice concentrate. Mix until there are not more lumps. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes and let cool.
While that bakes take a frying pan and cook apples in 1 tablespoon margarine until tender-crisp. Put the apples on top of the cheesecake. Then pour the apple glaze on top. Put in the fridge.
Apple Glaze: In small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Over low heat, cook and stir until thickened.
I love recipe blogs! Yum!! I have a couple giveaways going on this week if you want to stop by and check them out!
This sounds like a delicious cheesecake! I have never paired cheesecake and apples together, and I have no idea why, it sounds like a perfect combo.
When I made this I was scared at first, but I love ALL cheesecake (my favorite dessert) and when I think of fall I thinking of apples..so i just figured what the heck, may as well try it.
Apples. Cream Cheese. Walnuts! All of my favorite things in ONE recipe! Yummmmmm!

Stopping by from SITS. This sounds absolutely amazing, and I will definitely be trying this recipe this fall!
Wished that I wasn’t the only one that like something other than plain old cheesecake. Looks and sound delish! Happy SITS day.
I’m saving this recipe! It sounds so good!
Also dropping by from SITS and Blog Frog but as Kryten said, maybe I shouldn’t have because this really does sound mouth wateringly delicious. Yummy!! And I love, love, love cheesecake, too. If there was ever a dessert that just hits the spot that’s not too sweet but can be done in oh, about a million ways…that would be it. Thank you for this recipe and congrats on your SITS day and creating your first recipe!!
Sitsgal, your recipe looks really good. Your caramal cake too, wow. Yeah…this site is REALLY bad for me! I like the thought of saving it for special times though. My relatives are always finicky about having desserts (Something I don’t do so often) and this might actually satisfy them.
Can I just say yum! I can? Okay…yum! I will definitely have to try this recipe out.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmm, sounds divine! Your recipe made me start to feel excited for the fall and all the great fall flavors and recipes that come with it! Congratulations on your SITS day! Jenn/Rook No. 17
Can not wait to try this! It sounds so amazing!!
Stopping in from SITS, and you have a new stalker. I have a recipe blog too, so don’t be surprised if I share some of your fabulous stuff. YOu have SOOOO much coconut stuff. LOVE me some coconut. š
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS day!
