Cookies Ingredients

  • cup vegan butter 150g
  • ½ cup white sugar 100g
  • ½ cup brown sugar 100g
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon dairy-free milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour 215g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Ingredients

  • 220 g vegan heavy whipping cream
  • 70 g vegan cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Apple Pie Topping Ingredients

  • 3 apples 140g
  • ¼ cup pecans
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vegan butter
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the cookie ingredients.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough onto a cookie sheet. You should get 12 cookies. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream to a stand mixer and whip until stiff peaks form. Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla & mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in the fridge.
  • Wash, peel, and chop your apples into small cubes. Chop the pecans. Add the apples, pecans, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon & salt to a pan over medium heat. Stir often and cook for 10 mins until the apples are softened & caramelized.
  • Finally, add the cornstarch and use a whisk to break up the clumps. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, transfer to a heat-safe dish, and place in the fridge to cool.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
  • Once the cookies and apple toppings have fully cooled, add a generous dollop of the cheesecake mixture and spread it on each cookie. Then top with the apple pie topping. Use the extra caramel that has formed from cooking the apples to top the cookies.
  • Enjoy! Store in the fridge.

Notes

  • Make the cookie, apple topping, and whipped cheesecake topping 1–2 days ahead and refrigerate them separately. Assemble the cookies just before serving for the best texture. 
  • Don't skip chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much while baking. 
  • Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cheesecake topping. Otherwise, the topping will melt instead of holding its fluffy texture.
