Description
Apple Crumble Cheesecake combines creamy vanilla cheesecake, warmly spiced apples, and a buttery oat crumble topping for a comforting yet elegant dessert. Each layer adds its own texture and flavor, making every slice rich, cozy, and irresistible.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
¼ cup melted butter
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 apples, peeled and diced
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup flour
¼ cup oats
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a springform pan.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and smooth the top.
- Toss diced apples with 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon until coated. Spread evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- In a bowl, combine flour, oats, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft with a gentle jiggle.
- Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the apples for extra warmth.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving for added richness.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze individual slices tightly wrapped for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
