How to Prepare Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake [Vegan]

For the Crust:

  1. Place almond pulp (or flour) and coconut in a food processor until combined. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and process until it creates a dough-like consistency.
  2. Using your hands, press crust dough into the bottom of a 6 Inch Springform. Set in the fridge while making the filling.

For the Filling:

  1. Place all the filling ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend (at high speed) until the mixture is completely smooth; this might take 3-5 minutes.
  2. Pour over the crust. Cover the cake and place it in the fridge to set for 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.

For the Caramel Sauce:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until smooth. Feel free to add more water to reach desired consistency. Set aside 1/2 cup for the cake; reserve the remainder for another use*.

To Assemble:

  1. Remove the springform sides and place a thin layer of sliced apples on top.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over top of apples.
  3. Repeat the process one more time, starting with apples and the remaining caramel sauce.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for a softer cheesecake for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
