Ingredients for Vegan Apple Crumble Cheesecake

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 2 cups apples (peeled and sliced)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

Step-by-Step Instructions of Vegan Apple Crumble Cheesecake

1. Prepare the cashews. Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for a smoother texture.
2. Blend the filling. In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, drained tofu, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until creamy and smooth.
3. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Prepare the apples. In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon.
5. Assemble the crust. In a small bowl, mix the crushed Biscoff cookies with melted coconut oil until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
6. Layer apple slices. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the cookie crust.
7. Add the cheesecake filling. Pour the cashew mixture over the apple layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
8. Bake the cheesecake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
9. Cool and serve. Let the cheesecake cool before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

• Use firm tofu: It holds its texture better and gives a sturdier cheesecake.
• Let it cool: Allow cheesecake to sit for at least an hour before serving for the best flavor and texture.
