Well, with this recipe it is official autumn for me! Time for apples, nuts, pumpkins, Halloween, long movie nights, rainy walks outside and cold weather. I am not a big fan of this dark and rainy time of the year, therefore I wanted to make the start of this season more easy. And is there anything better than an easy dessert (like this caramel apple cookie crumble lasagne?) together with a hot tea while sitting on your cozy sofa and watch the rain outside?
I have to admit that i love italian food, of course the typical dishes as pizza, pasta and Lasagne, but also the sweet things as ice cream, Tiramisu or Cantuccini. Inspired by italian influences I thought about a dessert which is not that typical in Italy: A sweet Lasagne! The clue of this recipe is that it is based on different layers of apples, cookies, caramel and a smooth cream cheese cream.
You are just a few steps away from the most delicious apple dessert 🙂
CARAMEL APPLE COOKIE CRUMBLE LASAGNE
Soulfood with layers of apples, cookies, caramel and a smooth cream cheese cream
Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 3-4 apples (sour ones)
- juice of 0,5 lemon
- 1 tbsp starch flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp marple syrup
- For the cream:
- 120 g cream cheese
- 60 g confectioners sugar

- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 60 g heavy cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 200 g whole wheat cookies

Directions
- Step 1 Remove skin of the apples and cut into smaller chunks. Mix with lemon juice. In a bowl whisk together starch flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Put apples in a saucepan, add dry ingredients and the marple syrup. Let it boil and slowly cooked for about abour 10 minutes or until apples are smooth.
- Step 2 Cream cream cheese together with confectioners sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. At last add cottage cheese and caramel sauce.

Repeat this layering with the rest of the ingredients: cream, cookie crumbles and apples. The last layer should be cream of cookie crumbles.
