CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE



Caramel Apple Cheesecake image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     dessert

Time 2h32m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

8 whole graham crackers
1 cup lightly toasted walnuts, divided
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon orange zest
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature (recommended: Philadelphia)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light muscovado sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 recipe Apple Mixture, recipe follows
1 recipe Apple Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups apple juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, reserved from the cheesecake mixture
1 tablespoon cold butter
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
3 Fuji apples, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple brandy (recommended: Calvados)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons apple brandy (recommended: Calvados)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the graham crackers, 1/2 cup of the walnuts and brown sugar in a food processor and process until finely ground. With the motor running, add the butter through the feed tube and process until the mixture just comes together. Spray the bottom and side of the pan with cooking spray. Pat the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until lightly golden brown and just set, about 8 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and let cool completely.
  • Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and the orange zest in a food processor and process until combined.
  • Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand fixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the orange sugar, remaining granulated sugar, and light muscovado sugar and beat again until the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time and mix until just incorporated, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the vanilla seeds and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the salt and heavy cream and mix until just combined.
  • Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Set the cheesecake pan on a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and fold up the sides around it. Place the cake pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until the water is about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan; the foil will keep the water from seeping into the cheesecake. Bake until the sides of the cake are slightly puffed and set and the center still jiggles, about 55 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off and prop the door open with a wooden spoon and allow the cake to cook in the water bath for 1 hour. Remove the cake to a baking rack and allow to cool to room temperature for 2 hours. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours until chilled through.
  • Top with the warm apple topping, drizzle liberally with the caramel sauce and sprinkle with the remaining toasted walnuts. Serve additional sauce on the side.
  • Bring apple juice, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil in a large saute pan over high heat and cook until slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the butter until melted. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized and soft. Add the apple brandy and cook until reduced by 1/2. Transfer the apples to a plate and let cool slightly.
  • Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat (do not stir), swirling the pot occasionally to even out the color, until amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While the caramel is cooking. Place the heavy cream in a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • When the caramel has reached the desired color, slowly whisk in the heavy cream and salt and whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the apple brandy and vanilla extract. Keep warm.

CREOLE CREAM CHEESECAKE WITH CARAMEL-APPLE TOPPING



Creole Cream Cheesecake With Caramel-Apple Topping image

I have to confess that I spent the first half of my life not loving cheesecake. I just didn't understand it. Then, lo and behold, at the farmers' market in New Orleans, I was introduced to cheesecake made with Creole Cream Cheese.

Provided by Kelly Fields

Categories     Dessert     Cheesecake     New Orleans     Fall     Cream Cheese     Egg     Apple     Vanilla     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Makes 1 (10-inch) cheesecake

Number Of Ingredients 26

Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 16 whole crackers)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1⅓ cups Creole Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 eggs, at room temperature
Ingredient Info: You can substitute 1 cup sour cream mixed with 1⁄4 cup buttermilk for the 1⅓ cups Creole Cream Cheese.
Topping:
3¾ tablespoons unsalted butter
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1⁄4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1½ tablespoons honey
4 cups peeled, cored, and evenly chopped Granny Smith apples (about 7)
1½ teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄3 teaspoon ground cardamom
1⁄3 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • Make the crust. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and butter to combine. Pat the mixture into a 10-inch springform pan, pressing the crumbs firmly in an even layer on the bottom and making sure they come at least halfway up the side of the pan. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the crust is fragrant, dry, and toasty. Let cool, then wrap the entire outside of the pan tightly in two layers of foil, all the way to the top.
  • Make the filling:
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, cream the plain cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes, until incredibly smooth and light. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the Creole Cream Cheese and vanilla paste and beat on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl once more. Decrease the speed to medium and beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one before adding the next. Mix just until the batter is smooth and uniform. Continuing to mix past that point, even though the batter won't look different, only incorporates extra air, which will cause the cheesecake to bubble excessively and the surface to crack as that air tries to escape during the baking process.
  • Decrease the oven temperature to 350°F. Pour the batter into the prepared crust and tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to remove any large air bubbles. Place the springform pan in a large baking or roasting pan (just big enough for the springform pan to fit in) and set the pan on the middle rack in the oven. Fill the pan with enough hot water to reach the rim of the springform pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the sides of the custard are set and the middle is still just slightly wobbly. Generally, if the entirety of the custard is fully set, your cheesecake is overbaked. Don't panic-it'll still be delicious, and you'll do better next time!
  • Let the cheesecake cool in the water until it is about room temperature. (You don't want to have to try to grab the pan out of hot water if you can help it.) However, if you're worried that your cheesecake might be slightly overbaked, you'll want to pull it out rather quickly, and let it cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing. The cake can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 4 days.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan, heat the butter until melted. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and honey and let cook until bubbling. Add the apples and toss to coat. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger; stir to combine. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the apples just start to soften. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and transfer to a bowl to cool completely before use. The filling can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons melted butter
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
4 Gala apples, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
6 tablespoons cold butter, diced
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 (16 ounce) container caramel dip (such as Marzetti®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper, then close the ring around it for each removal of the cheesecake after baking.
  • Place walnuts in a bowl and drizzle melted butter on top. Toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves on top and toss nut topping well.
  • Place sliced apples in a bowl, add lemon juice, and toss well. Add cinnamon and cloves and toss apple topping. Set both toppings aside.

  • Place cream cheese in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar slowly, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well to ensure it is dissolved after each addition. Add flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Combine egg and egg yolks in a bowl and add to cream cheese mixture. Beat in heavy cream and whip on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into the cooled crust and decorate with the cinnamon apples. Sprinkle just some of the nut topping on top.
  • Fill a 9x13-inch baking pan with water and place on the bottom rack of the hot oven.
  • Bake the cheesecake on the middle rack of the hot oven until set, about 80 minutes.
  • Turn oven off and let cheesecake sit, untouched, for 1 hour to finish cooking throughout.
  • Cool on a wire rack until room temperature, about 1 hour. Place cheesecake in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen chilled cheesecake. Remove sides of pan.
  • Crush remaining nut topping into a crumble and use to decorate around the sides of the cheesecake.
  • Melt caramel topping in a microwave oven for 30 seconds at a time until pourable. Drizzle on top of cheesecake and top with more walnuts, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the perfect cheesecake crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • To prevent cracks in the cheesecake, bake it in a water bath. Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before chilling it. This will help prevent the cheesecake from sinking in the middle.
  • For a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling, use a high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature. Beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy before adding the other ingredients.
  • For a caramel sauce that is rich and flavorful, use a combination of brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens.
  • To make the apple filling, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. Peel and slice the apples thinly.
  • For a crispy apple topping, toss the apple slices with cinnamon sugar before adding them to the cheesecake.
