APPLE SPICE CHEESECAKE
This delightful recipe may replace apple pie, a beloved, traditional dessert. Serve with a few extra slices cooked apple, if desired. I tossed the cooked apple with a little cinnamon, melted butter and sweetener.

3/4 cup ground almonds (175 mL)
3/4 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 (175 mL)
1/4 cup butter, melted (60 mL)

1/4 cup sour cream (60 mL)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (2 mL)
1/4 tsp ground allspice (1 mL)
Crème Fraiche, page___ (optional)
