Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 16 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan and spread evenly.
In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated.
Carefully arrange the apple slices evenly over the top of the cheesecake mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
Before serving, release the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
Slice and enjoy this low-fat apple cheesecake as a delightful dessert!
