Description

Apple Crumble Cheesecake is a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake, spiced apple filling, and buttery oat crumble topping. It’s the perfect dessert for cozy gatherings or special family occasions, offering a comforting balance of sweetness and texture.


Ingredients

Scale

Crumble Topping & Crust:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Apple Filling:

3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cheesecake Layer:

16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

½ cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

2. In a saucepan, toss diced apples with lemon juice, sugar, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until slightly softened. Set aside to cool.

3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract.

4. Pour cheesecake batter over prepared crust. Spoon cooled apple filling evenly over the top. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the apples.

5. Bake for 45-55 minutes until edges are set but center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

6. Remove from oven and cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for the cheesecake to ensure a smooth texture.

Do not overmix after adding eggs to prevent cracks.

Let apple filling cool before layering to avoid cooking the cheesecake prematurely.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.

Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for an indulgent finish.
