All Things Sweet Recipe

Apple Cider Cheesecake Tartlets

Welcome to Flavors of Fall where we celebrate all things associated with fall like squash, apples, pecans, sweaters, football; you get the idea!  Ellen from Family Around the Table and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures have gathered 24 bloggers who have over 100 recipes they’re sharing this week in celebration of cool weather and sweatshirts.  We hope you find many must make recipes so get your pinning, tweeting, and sharing fingers ready!

The generous sponsors of this weeks giveaways have provided me with products for some of the recipes I share this week, however, as always opinions and commentary are all my own!

About 7 years ago we discovered a pick-your-own apple farm not too far from our home, and haven’t missed a year of apple picking yet! They also have the best fresh pressed apple cider, which inspired these decadent Apple Cider Cheesecake Tartlets!

Can I just say, I could have eaten the apple cider reduction by the spoonful! It really is the crowning glory of these miniature tarts. It is mixed with fresh diced apples that are spooned over a creamy cheesecake. If that isn’t enough, I drizzled it on top of the cooled tarts for a real burst of apple goodness!

There is just something about choosing and picking apples right from the tree. The benefits of shopping local are many, but one that I love best is that often, as in the case with many you-pick farms, is that you get to meet the farmers!

And, you get to bring your bounty home and create recipes like caramelized apple puff pastry or apple pie cupcakes!

On our very first visit to Windwood farms, we were lucky to meet Ralph, who purchased the farm in 1967. He showed us the perfect way to pick the apple from the tree and shared all about the many varieties of apples they grow. We were lucky to have met him, as he passed away in 2015. The farm is still run by family though, and they are such friendly folks it is always a pleasure to visit!

These decadent apple cider cheesecake tartlets are the perfect to wo bite dessert. Make them for a dessert tray or serve them along side a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So good!

Apple CIder Cheesecake Tartlets

These mini apple cider cheesecake tartlets are so good, you can't stop at just one!

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Additional Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large McIntosh Apples, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 cups fresh apple cider
  • 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 50 prepared mini tart shells

Instructions

In a medium saucepan melt better, add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and stir until smooth. Add chopped apples and cook on medium-low heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

In same saucepan add apple cider, vinegar, remaining brown and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, stirring often, until liquid is thickened and measures about 3/4 cup.

While apple cider is reducing, in a large mixing bowl whip cream cheese and sugar, add egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined.

Add 1/4 cup of reduced cider to apple mixture.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tart shells on cookie sheets. Spoon cream cheese into each tart shell, filling almost to the top, divide the cooked apple mixture evenly over all the tart shells. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until shells are golden.

Remove from oven and cool. Drizzle remaining apple cider reduction over the top of the cooled tartlets.

Refrigerate or freeze any unserved tartlets.

Notes

Watch the apple cider vinegar reduction carefully after about 20 minutes as it will start to thicken quickly after that.
