    Vegan Caramel Apple Cheesecake Tarte Tatin with Caramel Sauce

    By Alisa Fleming on October 21, 2018 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This caramel apple cheesecake was a dessert recipe entry in our 3-Course Recipe Contest with So Delicious. It was submitted by reader Nancy Diana, who says, “it’s a lovely, showstopper comfort dessert.” Today I’m giving the post a big update to make it more accessible to all of you.

    Dairy-Free and Vegan Caramel Apple Cheesecake Tarte Tatin Recipe - a rustic, flavorful, show-stopping dessert with gluten-free option

    A tarte tatin is a French upside-down pastry in which the fruit (usually apples) are caramelized before the tart is baked. It’s baked in the skillet and then (carefully!) inverted for a wonderfully, rustic upside-down dessert.

    From what I’ve read, tarte tatin desserts are usually baked with a puff pastry or shortbread crust, but Nancy uses a pie crust to make this caramel apple cheesecake version. If you opt to use dairy-free puff pastry, cut one sheet into a 10-inch round.

    Author: Nancy Diana
    Serves: 1 9-inch tarte tatin
    Ingredients
    Caramel Apple Cheesecake Tarte Tatin
    • 2 Granny smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
    • 3 Macintosh apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
    • 1 pint (473mL) dairy-free vanilla coconut creamer (like So Delicious), shaken
    • 1 8-ounce tub dairy-free cream cheese alternative
    • 3 tablespoons firmly-packed brown sugar
    • Zest of 1 orange
    • 1 uncooked dairy-free pie crust (gluten-free, if needed)
    Caramel Sauce
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • ¼ cup dairy-free vanilla or hazelnut coconut creamer (like So Delicious)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla or hazelnut extract
    Instructions
    Apple Cheesecake Tarte Tatin
    1. Pour the creamer into a 9-inch cast iron skillet, and bring to a simmer. Layer in the apples in concentric circles. Cook for 5 minutes turning once; leaving the nice sides of apples facing down. When they are slightly soft, place a lid over the mixture, slightly ajar and drain the liquid into a mixing bowl, you may have up to 1 cup liquid.
    2. Add the cream cheese alternative, brown sugar, and zest to the mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Spoon this mixture over the apples, and spread to cover. It doesn't have to be neat; this is a rustic dish. Cool to room temperature.
    3. Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
    4. Roll out the pie crust to 1-inch wider than the skillet. Place crust over the filling and tuck in the pastry.
    5. Place the skillet on the center rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch any spills. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
    6. Let cool in the skillet for 30 minutes.
    7. Run a knife around the edge to loosen. Place a flat serving dish wider than the pan inverted over the pan. Invert carefully and quickly to catch any hot liquids. (wear oven mitts).
    Caramel Sauce
    1. Put the sugar in a small saucepan and drizzle the water over top. Place the pan over medium to medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir to melt the sugar then do not touch the mixture as it boils rapidly. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is a deep golden color or registers 250ºF on a candy thermometer.
    2. Remove from the heat and stir in the creamer and extract.
    3. Drizzle over the caramel apple cheesecake tarte tatin. Optionally serve with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream!
