Caramel Apple Cheesecake Tart

 

What do you get when you combine a sweet pastry crust, apple pie filling, blobs of cheesecake, a crumb topping and caramel sauce?  Caramel apple cheesecake tart, of course!  And don’t let it’s look fool you–this is as easy as 1-2-3 and it’s not too bad calorie-wise either!


The pastry is as simple as can be–no rolling involved and entirely made in the food processor.  As to the apples, pretty simple opening a can, huh? And the cheesecake filling just has 4 ingredients, speedily mixed all together in a matter of minutes.  The most difficult things are the crumbs–kidding of course, but you do have to melt the butter and get out a small saucepan 🙂

Doesn’t break the calorie bank!

To further reduce fat and calories, you can substitute Neufchatel (now known as “low-fat cream cheese”) for the regular–but don’t use non-fat.  It just won’t set up.

Sugar-free apple filling can be used too as well as fresh apples.  Only thing I would not recommend is monkeying with ingredients in the crust nor using non-fat alternatives to the regular and reduced fat versions.  Often quite bad results occur–one day I’ll post about a “cheesecake” I made with non-fat cream cheese.  Picked it up by mistake as the packaging was almost the same as the regular.  It’s a horrid substance, but that’s another posting entirely LOL.

You can be completely decadent and serve this warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, or not be fancy and just serve plain and chilled.  Choice and extra calories are yours.

Just ENJOY.

Ingredients

FRENCH PATISSERIE - real fancy, but a simple butter pastry:

  • 1 1/4 cup unsifted flour
  • 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 OZ stick cold unsalted butter, cut in small chunks
  • 1 egg yolk reserve the white for the filling
  • 1 tbs cold water

APPLE CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • 1 can apple pie filling
  • 1 8- oz pkg cream cheese room temp
  • 1 whole egg + reserved egg white
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp sour cream

CRUMB TOPPING

  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds reserve
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce for drizzle

Instructions

  • For Pastry:
  • Place flour, confectioner's sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade (that's the standard blade). Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add butter chunks and pulse until mixture resembles small peas.
  • Beat egg yolk and cold water together. With food processor running, add the egg/water mixture through the feed tube, only adding enough to make dough "ball"--depending on weather conditions, you may have to add a few more drops of water.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor, wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and keep in refrigerator until ready for use. You can keep this up to 3 days.
  • Press pastry into a 10-inch quiche/tart pan, bringing pastry up the sides. You may also use a springform pan of a similar size, but only bring the pastry about 1/2 to 1-inch up the sides.
  • For the Crumbs:
  • Mix the melted butter, cinnamon and brown sugar well. Add flour, about 1/4 cup at a time until good, firm crumbs are made. You may not have to use all the flour, or you may have to use a tablespoon or so more. Your eye must be the judge of the proper consistency.
  • For Filling:
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs and beat until very smooth. Stir in sour cream.
  • Add apple pie filling to cream cheese mixture and just cut a knife through the mixture a few times--you don't want to mix it well, just "marble" it.
  • Putting It All Together:
  • Spread on top of crust in quiche pan. Top with crumbs. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pan on a baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake an additional 30-35 minutes or until center of tart is almost set.
  • Remove from oven and cool on rack. You may serve this slightly warm or well chilled. However you serve it, drizzle each serving with caramel sauce.

    This looks really nice. I am always on the lookout for yummy recipes that don't have too many calories. My family like to have apple pie/tart at Easter so I might have a go at your recipe this year. Thanks again!

    Kaylene, you can reduce the calories even further without much, if any, sacrifice to the taste if the few substitutions I mention are used.

    I hope your family enjoys this and a Blessed Easter to you & family
