  • 225 g cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 g sugar

  • 3 sheets isinglass

Instructions
 

Bottom layer

  • Melt the butter in a sauce pan
  • Mix butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl
  • Distribute the dough in the springform and bake it at 190 degrees for about 15 min till it is lightly brown
  • Let cool (in the fridge if needed)

The apple topping

  • Remove the core of the apples and chop them into small pieces
  • Heat the water, sugar, and lemon in a saucepan till the sugar has dissolved
  • Add the apples to the pot and let boil at medium heat till the apple is tender
  • Remove from heat and blend tills it has an even texture
  • Let the apple-mixture cool in the fridge (make the cheese-layer while it cools)
  • When the apples have cooled:
  • Let the isinglass soak in cold water for 5-10 minuts till it is soft
  • Remove the isinglass from the water and press any leftover water out of the isinglass and put it in a metal-bowl
  • Melt the isinglass in a water bath with boiling water
  • Remove the isinglass from the heat and add a couple of tablespoons of apple to the isinglass - stir till it has an even texture
  • Add half of the apples to the isinglass a couple of tablespoons at a time, stirring constantly
  • Add the rest of the applemixture and stirr till it has an even texture

The cheese layer

  • Mix the cheese, vanilla, sugar, and lemon till even
  • Whisk the heavy whipping cream into whipped cream
  • Mix the cheese-mixture and whipped cream - don't stir more than needed, since it will ruin the airy texture of the whipped cream
  • Let the isinglass soak in cold water for 5-10 minuts till it is soft
  • Remove the isinglass from the water and press any leftover water out of the isinglass and put it in a metal-bowl
  • Melt the isinglass in a water bath with boiling water
  • Remove the isinglass from the heat and add a couple of tablespoons of cheesemixture to the isinglass - stir till it has an even texture
  • Add half of the cheesemixture to the isinglass a couple of tablespoons at a time, stirring constantly
  • Add the rest of the cheesemixture and stirr till it has an even texture

Putting the cake together

  • Put the cheese-layer on the cake. Make sure to even it out using a spatula and by sliding the springform back and fourth along the kitchen-table
  • Put the apple-layer on the cake - make sure to even it out using the same method as for the cheese-layer
  • Let the cake sit for 30 min in the fridge or overnight
