This decadent but simple cheesecake dessert is worth every mouthful! Best of all, it's topped with crunchy toffee apple – it's truly irresistible.

Ingredients

1 ½ x 250 gram packets arrowroot milk biscuits

150 g unsalted butter, melted

400 g can apple pie filling

1 tsp ground cinnamon

300 ml tub thickened cream, whipped

Filling

3 x 250 g blocks cream cheese, chopped, room temperature

¾ cup caster sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

250 g tub sour cream

3 free-range eggs

Toffee

1 cup caster sugar

½ cup water

red food colouring, to tint

  1. Invert base of a 24cm springform pan (base measuring 22cm). Grease base and side. Line base with baking paper.
  2. Process biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed. Add butter. Process until combined. Press over base and up side of prepared pan. Refrigerate.
  3. Toss apples with cinnamon in a bowl. Spoon over biscuit base. Place pan on an oven tray
  4. To make filling, process cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in same, clean food processor until smooth. Add sour cream and eggs. Process until combined. Pour over apples
  5. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until just set. Cheesecake should have a slight wobble. Turn off oven. Cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Refrigerate, covered, for 6 hours or overnight, until firm.
