Almond Apple Cheesecake Recipe

I am a huge fan of apple pies. I love the sweet cinnamon and tart apples, and when Rainier sent a box of beautiful Honey Crisp and Pink Lady apples, I knew that I had to bake with a few.

However, I also love cheesecake and was thinking of using the square springform pan for cheesecake bars. I was wondering if I could combine my love of apple pie with my craving for cheesecake.

That’s when I knew that I had to make apple cheesecake bars. I cut back on the cheesecake filling so that it wasn’t as thick as a traditional cheesecake, made a flour based crust, and added sliced apples and almonds on top.

I thought it turned out perfectly.

This almond apple cheesecake recipe is perfect for any weekend treat. Add some caramel sauce or a scoop of ice cream to make it extra special.

Now, I referred to this recipe as “bars” because you can cut the 9 x 9 pan into square bars and serve it. The crust cooks up firm and held up much better than a graham cracker crust.

I hope that you give it a try for your Easter Weekend or Spring Break.
