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 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter

1 tablespoon sugar

2 pounds cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cold butter, cubed


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  5. 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.
  6. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake batter.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
