The wholesome ingredients in this cheesecake (protein from Greek yogurt, along with oats and apples) will make you feel full…but there’s still ample sweetness too so no one will feel like they’ve missed out on dessert…and with only 15 calories per teaspoon, the caramel on top is an apt finishing touch to a satisfying and guilt-free indulgence. -V.

2 (5.3-oz.) containers plain Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Gefen Cornstarch
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup flour (Shibolim Whole Wheat Flour is ok)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or 3 tablespoons melted whipped butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla
1 apple, peeled and finely diced
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup milk
pinch salt
pinch Gefen Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a blender, combine yogurt, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth. Pour into ramekins or mini Mason jars, filling a little more than halfway (the cheesecake will rise). Bake for 25 minutes.
Refrigerate.
Prepare the topping: In a baking dish, combine all crumble ingredients. Bake for 40 minutes.
Top cheesecake with crumble.
Yield: 8 servings (175 calories with 1 heaping teaspoon caramel) or 6 larger servings (225 calories per serving with the caramel)
Boil sugar with water until the mixture is a golden color.
Lower heat and slowly whisk in milk, salt, and vanilla. Boil for one to two additional minutes to let mixture thicken.
Drizzle each cheesecake with one teaspoon caramel.

Caramel Hi! When making the caramel, any other option for milk, I want if dairy free.
Yogurt fat content Can non-fat yogurt be used? I would also like to know what kind of jars can be put in the oven. Yours are so pretty!
Yes, of course, I always use nonfat yogurt. Those are little Mason jars, the smallest size! They’re widely available and very versatile.
Jars Hi where can I buy such jars to make these cheesecakes ?
I get my Mason jars at Wegmans, but they should be widely available. Perhaps Walmart, or craft stores like Michaels or AC Moore…etc. I find that they’re more expensive online because they’re likely heavy to ship. (The little ones should be $8-$9 for a dozen)
Pan Can this be made in a pan instead of ramekins? What size pan does it fit? How long should it be cooked for? Thanks
Yes, that’s not a prob. The recipe will fill a standard pie pan (I use the same batter in a graham cracker pie crust as noted).
Hi! What can I use instead of the milk so that it shouldn’t be milky?
You can use coconut milk.
