    Applecake is something I know well from my childhood in lots of variations, but combined with a cheesecake was something totally new for me. It definitely worked out, because I like that version a lot. The crispy topping and especially the caramel sauce on top makes this cake a really nice treat for a Sunday afternoon coffee with family and friends. I hope you like it as much as I do!

    There are so many good recipes for apple cake out there and so many good recipes for cheesecake as well. Why not combine both and make one delicious “frankencake” ;) Well… it’s not really a frankencake, just a delicious cheesecake with apples and caramel. I would recommend drizzling the cake slices individually. If you have leftover cake and that is covered with caramel sauce, the crisp topping will soften. Still ok, but not the best ;)

      1000 Dank für dieses Rezept!!!
      Endlich hat meine Suche nach einem Apfel-Käsekuchen mit Streuseln ein Ende :)
      Habe ihn heute gebacken (neben deinem Kürbis-Käsekuchen, super cremig, bereits mein 4. Gebäck mit Kürbis in diesem Herbst ;) )…er ist sooo fluffig und dann die Kombi mit den knusprigen-karamelligen-zimtigen Streuseln, einfach himmlisch, genau richtig fürs 1. Adventswochenende :)
      Liebe Grüße,
      Luisa

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
