LEMON APPLE CHEESECAKE

Lemon Apple Cheesecake image

I love to find things that don't have to be baked and are still delicious. This was given to me by my sister in law many (oh-so-many) years ago. You'll need a 7 or 8 inch spring form pan. This delicious dessert has a texture more like custard then cheesecake. Time does not inclued chilling. Note: The 1 2/3 cups of evaporated milk is slightly more then a 12oz can. I just added regular milk to bring it to 1 2/3.

Tips:

Use a high-quality cream cheese. This will make the cheesecake richer and more flavorful.
Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them incorporate smoothly and prevent the cheesecake from curdling.
Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake tough and dense.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.

This lemon apple cheesecake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cheesecake is creamy and tangy, with a hint of sweetness from the apples. The lemon glaze adds a bright and citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the cheesecake. If you're looking for a new cheesecake recipe to try, this lemon apple cheesecake is definitely worth a try!
