Description

Apple Crumble Cheesecake is the perfect combination of creamy, rich cheesecake topped with spiced apples and a buttery crumble. It’s an indulgent dessert that brings together the best of both worlds – the smooth, velvety texture of cheesecake and the sweet, warm flavors of cinnamon-spiced apples with a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple slices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake batter.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, and cold cubed butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple layer.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggles when you tap the pan. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.

Notes

If you’re looking to mix things up, try adding chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the crumble topping for an extra crunch.

Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce for a rich, sweet finish.

If apples aren’t your thing, pears or peaches can be substituted for a different fruit topping.

To store leftovers, refrigerate the cheesecake tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

To reheat, microwave a slice for 10-15 seconds or enjoy it cold straight from the fridge.
