Another month passed by since Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I made the last »Bake together – The Baking Surprise«… time goes by so quickly! Well – today is all about this Baked Apples Cheesecake. A delicious treat for the upcoming Christmas season.

Last time it was all about Halloween and pumpkins. I made delicious little Pumpkin Chocolate Cupcakes. You remember, we give ourselves a task each month for baking?. This time we decided to go for something Christmas-themed already. I know it’s still November, but there is not much time left to be honest. Christmas trees and decorations are all over the place already and »Last Christmas« is playing everywhere (or at least everywhere in our office).

Andrea and I agreed on making something for Christmas but refused to do Christmas cookies. There are so many blogs out there showing you cookie recipes, so we decided to go for something else. That does not mean we don’t like cookies or the other blogs, but something different for a change is nice, isn’t it?

I am drifting awaaaaaayyyyy….. Our topic today is: Baked apples! You probably knew already, because the recipe says it, but just to make sure everybody knows.

Anyway. Baked apples are delicious! Have you made them? The smell that is coming from the kitchen when you bake them…. awesome! It’s similar to apple cake – if you smell it you immediately start to drool. Thinking about it also makes me drool…

Those baked apples are not ending up on your plate today. After being baked they decided to get cozy in a cheesecake for your enjoyment later on. Accompanied by a big batch of caramel. Sounds good, right? You noticed that caramel is also involved, right?

Anyway. As you hopefully all know, Andrea is preparing her own recipe with baked apples and publishing it today. I have no idea what she made so far, so I can’t tell you. But as soon as she tells me, I will post here a link to it. And now… have a nice weekend!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Wash the apples, cut them in half horizontally and core. Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and bake them for about 30-35 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down.

2. Line a 26cm springform tin* and grease it lightly. Set aside. Mix the flour with baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter, vanilla extract and egg and knead until you get a nice smooth dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, transfer it to the baking tin, and press it to the bottom and sides. You want the sides to go up pretty high. Place everything in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

3. Add the eggs for the filling to a large bowl and mix until foamy. Slowly add the sugar and cinnamon and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the caramel syrup and mix it in. Add the cornstarch, vanilla extract, curd and heavy cream as well and mix until well combined.

4. Place the baked apples (cut side down) in the prepared baking tin and pour the filling on top. Wiggle a bit so the filling distributes evenly. Bake the cake for about 60 minutes – it should have gotten some color on top, the edges should have set but the center can still be a bit wobbly. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool down on a wire rack. When cooled, place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove the cake from the tin before serving and decorate it with some whipped cream and sliced apples.

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Die Äpfel waschen, quer halbieren und entkernen. Auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Blech legen, mit dem Zucker bestreuen und für etwa 30-35 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und abkühlen lassen.

2. Eine 26cm Springform* mit Backpapier auslegen, einfetten und zur Seite stellen. Mehl mit Backpulver, Zucker und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die weiche Butter, Vanille Extrakt und das Ei zugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen, in die Form legen und am Boden und den Seiten festdrücken – der Rand sollte relativ hoch sein. Für etwa 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

3. Für die Füllung die Eier in einer großen Schüssel schaumig aufschlagen. Zucker und Zimt mischen, in die Schüssel einrieseln lassen und auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Den Karamellsirup dazugeben und unterrühren. Stärke, Vanille Extrakt, Quark und Sahne ebenfalls dazugeben und gut verrühren.

4. Die gebackenen Äpfel mit den Schnittflächen nach unten in die Springform setzen und dann die Füllung darübergießen und an der Form etwas rütteln, damit sich alles gleichmäßig verteilt. Die Backform in den Ofen schieben und den Kuchen für etwa 60 Minuten backen. Der Kuchen darf etwas Farbe bekommen haben, die Ränder sollten fest sein, aber in der Mitte alles noch etwas wackeln, wenn man die Form bewegt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen, auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen und dann für mindestens 2 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen. Den Kuchen vor dem Servieren aus der Form lösen und mit etwas Sahne und Apfelspalten dekorieren.
