Easy Warm Swedish Caramel Apple Cheesecake.
Swedish cheesecake is made with strained cottage cheese, as opposed to cream cheese, and it's also made with almond meal. Think of Swedish Cheesecake as the lighter, fluffier version of American Cheesecake.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup full fat cottage cheese (strained overnight*)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond meal/flour (finely ground almonds)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla bean (seeds scraped or 2 vanilla extract)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups whipped cream (for serving)
- 2 cups apple cider
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided)
- 1 1/2 cups honeycrisp or pink lady apples (cored and chopped)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 3 quart baking dish.
-
In the bowl of a food processor or high powdered blender, add the cottage cheese, sugar, flour, almond meal, heavy cream, vanilla and eggs. Purée until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake until browned and slightly puffed, 45 minutes to an hour. Let cool just slightly before serving.
-
Meanwhile, make the caramel + apples. Add the apple cider to a medium sauce pot and bring to a boil, boil for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cider has reduced to about 1/3 cup and is thick and syrupy. Reduce the heat and add the brown sugar, 4 tablespoons butter and the cream. Bring back to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the the caramel is thickened and dark in color. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Heat a medium size skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter. Add the apples, cinnamon and salt, cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes. During the last minute add 1 teaspoon vanilla and cook another minute. Remove from heat.
-
To serve, add a dollop of whipped cream to each piece of cheesecake. Top with apples and then drizzle with caramel. ENJOY!
