A delicious cheesecake layered with a buttery crumble and sweet apples, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and flour. Pour this heavenly mixture onto the cooled crust.
- Prepare the apples: In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon, then layer them on top of the cheesecake filling.
- Crumble topping: In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and softened butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle it over the apples generously.
- Bake it up: Bake the cheesecake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. It will firm up as it cools—don’t skip this step, it matters more than people think!
- Cool and serve: Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for at least an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Notes
Store leftover cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
