I'm confused as well. This appears to be an apple topped cheesecake, not truly an apple cheesecake. The apples are cooked in advance and separated. Do you use the reserved 3 tbs for topping? If so, what happens to the remaining apple topping that was placed in the refrigerator until later? If none of the apple topping is cooked with the cheesecake, why waste the time of cooking it prior. You could easily cook the apple topping and allow it to cool while the cheesecake is baking. There's something missing here.
