Ingredients

Scale
  • 330 g vegan-friendly cookies (e.g., Biscoff)
  • 150 g vegan butter or coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 large apples (peeled and diced)
  • 50 g brown sugar (¼ cup)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 68 g all-purpose flour (½ cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 50 g brown sugar (¼ cup)
  • 70 g vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 40 g oats (6½ tbsp)
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
  • 260 g cashews (unsalted and preferably raw)
  • 250 g firm silken tofu
  • ½ cup maple syrup or sugar
  • ¾ cup vegan yogurt (or more silken tofu, blended)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vegan cookies with melted vegan butter until they resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  3. In another bowl, mix your diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and cornstarch. Spread this filling evenly over your crust.
  4. Combine flour, brown sugar, vegan butter, oats, chopped nuts, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle this topping over your apple filling.
  5. Blend cashews, silken tofu, maple syrup, vegan yogurt, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour your cheesecake filling over everything in the pan.
  6. Bake for about 75 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least four hours—or overnight if you can wait!
