Instructions

Make the Pastry: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, icing sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Add butter and egg yolk. Mix until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and chill.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add icing sugar, granulated sugar, and egg yolks. Stir in heavy cream and flour until combined.
Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Assemble the Cake: Pour the cream filling over the chilled pastry. Scatter apple pieces evenly on top.
Bake: Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 50–60 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden. Let cool completely in the pan.

Notes

Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture.
Let the cake chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving—it sets beautifully!
For a fall twist, sprinkle cinnamon over the apples before baking.
