Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Place a colander in a 2-quart glass measure or bowl. Line the colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth, allowing it to extend over the edge of the bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the colander, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 12 hours. |
| 2 | After 12 hours, spoon the yogurt cheese into a bowl, discarding the liquid. Cover and refrigerate. |
| 3 | Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). |
| 4 | In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, margarine, and egg white. Beat at medium speed until blended. Add the graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon, stirring well. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool. |
| 5 | Lower the oven temperature to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC). |
| 6 | In a large nonstick skillet, combine brown sugar and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Add the sliced apples and cook for 8 minutes until tender and the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Set aside. |
| 7 | In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, salt, and cream cheese. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. |
| 8 | Spoon the cooked apple mixture into the prepared pan. Pour the cheese mixture over the apples and top with 1/3 cup sundae syrup. Use a knife to swirl the mixture for a marbled effect. |
| 9 | Bake at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) for 1 hour until almost set. Turn off the oven and loosen the cake from the sides of the pan using a narrow metal spatula or knife. Let the cheesecake stand in the oven with the door closed for 40 minutes. |
| 10 | Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours. |
| 11 | Before serving, drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sundae syrup over the top and garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired. |
| 12 | Slice and enjoy your decadent Caramel Swirl-And-Apple Cheesecake! |
