Doctor Strange (2016)-Treat
This movie is partly in New York, also called the big apple. What's New York's best known dessert? Cheesecake. Which is why I decided to make an apple pie cheesecake. Far-fetched idea? Yes. Delicious? Absolutly? Hard to make? No!
Here's the recipe:
Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
⅓ cup butter, melted
Filling
2 (250g) blocks cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sour cream
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
Apples
5 small baking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
½ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
Topping
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ cup butter, softened

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix graham, oats, cinnamon and butter until combined. Press mixture evenly on the bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool. Leave oven on.
Filling
In the bowl of an electric mixture, beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until mixture is even and smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing until fully integrated. Pour mixture over graham base. Reserve.
Apples
In a large bowl, mix apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice and cinnamon to combine. Reserve.
Topping
In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, almonds, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly with visible clumps.
Gently scatter apple mixture over cream cheese mixture. If some apple slices sink, that’s okay. Next, gently and evenly spoon topping over apples.
Bake assembled cheesecake in the centre rack of oven until filling is set, about 80 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for minimum 1 hour before running a knife around the perimeter of the cheesecake and unhinging the springform pan. Slice and serve warm or chilled (to serve chilled, refrigerate cheesecake in pan, unhinge springform pan, slice and serve).
Here's the dessert, hope you enjoy it!
