Toffee Apple Cheesecake Recipe
Although most of us at the Smith House loves just about every kind of sweet treat, my youngest son does not. He’s not one for candy and he doesn’t like anything with crazy textures, and especially, nuts.
But he does love cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. Through the years, I’ve tried tweaking the cheesecake with little extras, but since he’s not one for any kind of cherry toppings or sauces, I try not to go too far from the original cheesecake and keep it as simple as I can.
However, I do love apples. And since both my husband and I have a love affair with anything toffee, the toffee apple cheesecake is one I love to bake.
Surprisingly, my youngest son loves this one. I guess it’s because it’s still creamy, and even though there is a bit of crunch from the toffee bits, it’s not enough to take away from the cheesecake texture he loves so much. He also loves the crust of this one that I make using gingersnaps rather than graham cracker crumbs. The gingersnaps go well with the apple, giving it a fall flavor that reminds me of another favorite–easy skillet apple pie.
