cup all-purpose flour  
cup canola or olive oil  
cup packed brown sugar  
tsp cinnamon  
INSTRUCTIONS:  
1
. Mix the flour, oil and sugar very well. Pour the crumbly mixture into a greased 9-inch  
springform pan. Press down and an inch up along the sides so it forms a crust. Place  
the pan in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.  
2
. Peel, core and slice the apples. Each apple should make 8 or 12 slices (cut in two, cut  
each half in two, cut each quarter in two or three). Place in lemon juice to avoid apple  
rust, and pour in the sugar and cinnamon.  
3
. Heat the oil in the pan, and pour the apple mixture into the pan, stirring at medium  
heat for about 3 minutes (just enough to make them a little tender).  
. Cream the cheese, then mix in the sour cream, brown sugar, and eggs until the  
mixture is very smooth.

Mmmm-mm. Apples and cheese taste good together any time of year, and this  
cheesecake just brings out the best of both. At this point, the author of Climb your  
Stairway to Heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness (that’s me.) is supposed to tell  
you something about himself (that’s also me.). So here’s another excerpt from my official  
biography:  
Author’s Bio:  
David is a lover of nature. His favorite activities take place far from the towers of  
the city: hiking, camping, canoeing, wildlife spotting. He says, “I’ve lunched with moose,  
snacked with ducks, shared a camp site with a black bear, and served as a snack for  
countless mosquitoes.”  
Go ahead and share your Sweet & Sour Apple Streusel Cheesecake with bears,  
ducks, moose or anyone you wish. And please share your opinion of CLIMB YOUR  
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN with all your friends. Or send them to
