Healthier Caramel Apple Cheesecake Recipe
The other day I posted a picture of a cheesecake I made to my stories and to my surprise it received the most love pretty much any of my recent posts have made, even about skincare. HAHA! So, let's start swapping recipes! As an esthetician with skin health in mind, I'll also plan to help make the recipes I share a little bit healthier than the normal versions without sacrificing taste or quality. I believe that skincare stems from a healthy and happy balance in all aspects of life.
So with the holidays coming up, here is a great recipe to boost the fall vibes or a great option for your holiday dessert tables. It's amazing. And everyone will love how rich yet also light it is. It's reminiscent of normal cheesecake but has less sugar and fat in the recipe making it a little lighter. It's made with a graham cracker crust, coated in caramel sauce, and topped with caramel apples and almonds. Basically what fall dreams or dessert table favorites are made of.
How it is healthier (although we are not hating on sugar or fat lol):
Less sugar. Typically, in a classic 8-inch cheesecake, you would add about 1 or 1.5 cups of sugar. We have added just ½ cup.
Less fat. Also, in a typical cheesecake of this size, you would add 3 packs of cream cheese. We have cut that down to just two packs and replaced the third pack with Greek yogurt.
How to Store Cheesecake
Store in the refrigerator and do not leave out for more than a couple of hours. In the refrigerator it will last up to 4 days. You can also freeze the for up to 3 months. To thaw just move the cake into the refrigerator and ket it thaw overnight. If you are freezing, make the toppings when you are ready to eat it. (don't freeze with toppings on)
