Originally published March 2008.
Credit for this Partridgeberry Apple Cheesecake goes to Spouse, who has been in the kitchen for the past day or so making desserts for a school function this evening.
Actually, I have been quite remiss in giving her credit for her contributions to this blog. Besides being chief bottle washer, cleaning up the significant swath of destruction I can wreak on a kitchen, she is also a talented cook and baker in her own right.
We actually do cook and bake together very often.
Partridgeberries or Lingonberries are small tart berries similar to cranberries, which can be substituted in this recipe
Part of my reason for starting this blog was to force myself to actually get recipes I have never written down out of my head and onto the page. Spouse is as happy about that as anyone and actually uses the recipes quite often herself with great success.
I expect we may see more of her offerings featured here in days to come.
I like Red Delicious Apples for this recipe but you can use any kind you like.

Partridgeberry Apple Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups graham wafer crumbs
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3 eight ounce packages cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
For the Partridgeberry Apple Compote
- 1 cup partridgeberries
- 1 large chopped apple, peeled and cored
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Grease the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan but not the sides. I like to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy release later.
- Wrap the outside of the pan in 2 layers if heavy duty aluminum foil. This will buffer the heat and keep butter from dripping ouut of the pan bottom and smoking out the oven.
- In a small bowl, combine the graham crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared spring form pan.
- Cream together the cream cheese and sugar well.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Blend in the vanilla extract and whipping cream.
- Pour over the prepared base and bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- The cheesecake should just be beginning to brown at the edges and the surface of the cheesecake should lose any shine when the cake is properly baked. It can still be slightly wobbly just at the center at this point.
- Remove the cake from the oven and run a sharp knife completely around the edge of the pan. This will allow for the cheesecake to shrink as it cools and hopefully not crack (but who cares if it does? I am never bothered by a crack or two in the surface)
- Allow the cheesecake to cool thoroughly on a wire rack at room temperature before chilling it completely in the fridge. Top with Partridgeberry Apple Compote
To prepare the Partridgeberry Apple Compote
Simmer the partridgeberries, apple and sugar together gently for about 15 minutes or until the apples are fully cooked.
Cool thoroughly before spreading on top of the cheesecake.
