Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.75 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1 large tart apple, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of erythritol for the crust. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup erythritol with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.

Step 6

Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until combined after each addition.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter onto the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Step 8

In a small bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, 1 tablespoon erythritol, and cinnamon until well coated.

Step 9

Arrange the apple slices over the top of the cheesecake filling in a circular pattern. Drizzle with the unsweetened apple sauce.

Step 10

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.

Step 11

Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for an hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before removing from the springform pan and serving.
