Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Quiche Dish Baking Pan
  • Food Processor

Ingredients  

Base

  • 3 dates
  • 1 cup oats
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • sprinkle of salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups cashews (soaked overnight)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk (the white hardened part on top)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Top

  • 2 large apples, cut into slices
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions 

  • Place a regular can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight so that the coconut milk separates. Cover the cashews with water and let them soak in the fridge overnight.
  • In a small bowl, add 3 dates and warm water and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Coat a 9’’ pie pan lightly with coconut oil (liquid), including the sides.
  • Place all of the base ingredients into a food processor and blend until it becomes a fine dough like mixture.
  • Place the base into the pie pan and using your hands, spread out and flatten down to ½’’ thick. Make sure the mixture goes up ½’’ on the sides as well.
  • Cook the tart base in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the base cooks, add your cheesecake filling ingredients to the food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until it becomes creamy.
  • Remove your pie pan from the oven and let the base cool. Once cooled, add the cheesecake filling on top of the base and use a spatula to even it out. Place the pie pan into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to let the filling harden.
  • While the filling hardens, cut your apples into slices. First cut your apple into half, then into quarters and cut out the core. Then slice these into 1/4’’ slices using a mandoline or by hand. Mix the cinnamon, maple syrup, and lemon in a bowl and then brush all of the slices with this. Let these sit until your cheesecake filling is ready.
  • Remove the pan from the freezer and add the apples to the top. To make an apple rose, start on the outside where the filling meets the pan, working your way around the entire dish, overlapping apple slices by about ½”. Then start the next row doing the same overlapping of the apples and continue until you get to the center. For the center pieces, you will need to cut them into smaller pieces to fit.
  • Sprinkle the top of the tart with cinnamon and either place in the fridge to enjoy later or ENJOY right away!
