Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees and line a 21cm spring form tin with baking paper
Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and cinnamon, mix well
Press the cinnamon biscuit crumbs into the base of the lined tin, press with the back of a spoon, chill 10 minutes
Place the cream cheese in the beater bowl and mix on medium speed until softened
Add the mascarpone, sour cream, sugar, and flour, beat a further 2-3 minutes until smooth and lump free
Add the eggs beating a little between each
Core then slice the envy™ apples thinly and toss with the vanilla bean paste and zest
Pour half the cream cheese mix into the chilled biscuit base tin
Arrange half the envy™ apple slices over the mix
Bake for 1- 1 ¼ hours or until the filling is just set and wobbles a little when you gently shake the pan
Turn off the oven and leave the oven door ajar so the cheesecake can cool down gently for about 30 minutes then remove from the oven and allow to cool a further 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours
Remove from the tin and transfer to a serving plate
