Description
A baked cheesecake topped with a spiced apple crumble layer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until just combined. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
- Bake the cheesecake for 40 minutes.
- While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and rolled oats. Cut in the 2 tablespoons cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- After 40 minutes of baking, sprinkle the apple crumble mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
- Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is mostly set.
- Cool the cheesecake completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, bring the cream cheese to room temperature before starting.
- You can use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best flavor.
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for the firmest slices.
