Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a food processor, blend the vegan cookies until they resemble fine crumbs.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted vegan butter until well mixed.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form an even layer.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  7. Set aside to allow flavors to meld while you prepare the crumble topping.
  8. In another mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, vegan butter or coconut oil, oats, chopped nuts, and cinnamon powder.
  9. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
  10. Drain and rinse cashews before adding them to a food processor with firm silken tofu.
  11. Add maple syrup (or sugar), vegan yogurt (or extra silken tofu), lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt.
  12. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  13. Spoon half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  14. Layer with spiced apple filling evenly across the top.
  15. Add remaining cheesecake filling on top of the apples.
  16. Sprinkle crumble topping generously over everything.
  17. Place your assembled cheesecake in the oven at 160°C (320°F).
  18. Bake for approximately 75 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  19. Turn off the oven but leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
  20. Refrigerate your cheesecake for at least four hours—or overnight—for best results before serving.
