Description
This sugar-free apple crisp cheesecake is tall, bakery-style, and layered with cinnamon-spiced apples, creamy cheesecake filling, and a golden almond flour crisp topping.
Ingredients
Crust:
1 1/2 cups almond flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons Monk Fruit (Lakanto or Swerve) granulated
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Apple Layer:
2 medium apples, peeled and diced small
2 tablespoons Monk Fruit (Lakanto or Swerve) brown-style
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup Allulose
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
Crisp Topping:
1/2 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons Monk Fruit (Lakanto or Swerve) brown-style
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the crust: Combine all crust ingredients, press firmly into the bottom of the pan, and par-bake for 12 minutes.
Prepare the apple layer: In a pan over medium heat, cook apples with brown-style monk fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice for about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Make cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add allulose and blend well. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla and heavy cream until thick and creamy.
Assemble: Pour cheesecake filling over crust. Spoon apple mixture over the filling.
Prepare topping: Mix crisp topping ingredients until crumbly and chunky. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
Bake at 350°F for 55–60 minutes, until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle.
Cool gradually: Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake rest for 20 minutes.
Chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before slicing for best results.
Notes
Use finely diced apples for clean slices.
A springform pan is essential for height and easy release.
Chill overnight for best flavor and structure.
Cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen (wrapped well) for 1 month.
