Zubereitung von Apple Cardamom Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Press firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Prepare the apples: Peel and core 2 medium apples (about 1 pound). Cut into 16 wedges.
- Caramelize the apples: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest, beating until combined.
- Beat in eggs: Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the caramelized apples evenly over the crust. Pour the cheesecake filling over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly. The top should be lightly golden brown.
- Cool and chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then, let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
