Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 6 oz cream cheese, cold
  • 2 tbsp apple cider reduction from above
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (for topping)
  • pinch ground allspice (for topping)
  • 12 tbsp salted butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple cider reduction by boiling it until it thickens to about 1/2 cup.
  2. For the cheesecake filling, beat cold cream cheese with sugar until smooth and mix in cooled apple cider reduction.
  3. In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla, followed by the cooled cider reduction.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and spices before gradually incorporating into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, create an indentation for filling, add cheesecake mixture, and cover with additional dough if desired.
  6. Bake for about 11 minutes or until edges are golden.
