I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake turned out really dense and dry. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This cheesecake was just okay. The apple brandy flavor was very subtle, and the cheesecake itself was a bit dry. The streusel topping was the best part of the cheesecake.

The cheesecake was a bit dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake. The apple brandy flavor was also not as noticeable as I would have liked. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.

This cheesecake was a bit too boozy for my taste. The apple brandy flavor was overpowering, and it made the cheesecake taste more like a cocktail than a dessert. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who doesn't like strong alcohol flavors.
