Apple Crumbe Cheesecake – This is one of the most scrumptious cake over, with the cheesecake and caramelised apples and crumble top and biscuit base. I always prefer baked cheesecake because they really smell so good and the fragrant is all over my house when it’s baking in the oven. The texture of the cake is extremely creamy and soft. The flavour is just amazing, good to go with a cup of espresso. I’ve also give an option without using eggs. Please check the eggless recipe below (just need 2 ingredients to replace the eggs) What do you think? Let me know your comments in the comment box down below. Enjoy!
