Ingredients

• 200 grams Digestive biscuits
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 500 grams Cream cheese
• 150 grams Caster sugar
• 200 ml Double cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Bramley apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
• 200 grams Blackberries
• 50 ml Water
• 1 tablespoon Icing sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the base: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing the biscuits in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.

Step 3

Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the base of a 23cm springform cake tin, pressing firmly to compact it. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

Step 4

Peel, core, and dice the Bramley apples into small cubes. Add the apples, lemon juice, and light brown sugar into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the apples soften and break down into a compote. Allow to cool completely.

Step 5

In another saucepan, combine the blackberries, water, and icing sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the blackberries soften and the juices thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and caster sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and double cream, and continue to beat until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks.

Step 7

Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing it out with a spatula. Add a layer of the Bramley apple compote on top, then spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the apple layer.

Step 8

Chill the assembled cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 9

Once set, spoon the stewed blackberries over the top of the cheesecake as a garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
