- 330 g vegan-friendly cookies (e.g. Biscoff cookies)
- 150 g vegan butter/margarine or coconut oil (melted)
- 3 large apples (peeled and diced)
- 50 g brown sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 68 g all-purpose flour (½ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 50 g brown sugar (¼ cup)
- 70 g vegan butter or coconut oil
- 40 g oats (6½ tbsp)
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
- 260 g cashews (unsalted and preferably raw)
- 250 g firm silken tofu
- ½ cup maple syrup or sugar
- ¾ cup vegan yogurt (or more silken tofu, blended)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a food processor, blend the vegan cookies until they resemble fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted vegan butter until well mixed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Set aside to allow flavors to meld while you prepare the crumble topping.
- In another mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, vegan butter or coconut oil, oats, chopped nuts, and cinnamon powder.
- Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
- Drain and rinse cashews before adding them to a food processor with firm silken tofu.
- Add maple syrup (or sugar), vegan yogurt (or extra silken tofu), lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Spoon half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
- Layer with spiced apple filling evenly across the top.
- Add remaining cheesecake filling on top of the apples.
- Sprinkle crumble topping generously over everything.
- Place your assembled cheesecake in the oven at 160°C (320°F).
- Bake for approximately 75 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven but leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
- Refrigerate your cheesecake for at least four hours—or overnight—for best results before serving.
