Apple Crumble Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce 焦糖蘋果酥乳酪蛋糕

Cheesecake and warm Apple Crumble pie are my faviourite desert especially in cold winter time. Fall passed and winter came. Cold breeze outside and strong wind blew. This made me think of having some warm served dessert for my dearest dinner party friends at Ahmami Cafe. Combining Apple crumble and cheesecake is double the delicious. And this can served with ice cream that everyone will love it. Can't wait to try!
