I am so glad you are here. This recipe combines rich, creamy cheesecake with a warm, spiced apple crisp topping. It is an indulgent dessert perfect for fall gatherings or impressing guests.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • For the Apple Layer: 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and sliced, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the Cheesecake Filling: 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese softened, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sour cream, 3 large eggs
  • For the Crisp Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Apple Layer: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract and sour cream. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Arrange half of the spiced apple slices evenly over the filling. Top with the remaining cheesecake filling. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top of the filling.
  5. Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, oats, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this buttery crumble evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edge, and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • For an even more impressive dessert, drizzle cooled cheesecake with caramel sauce just before serving.
  • If you want to make this a caramel apple cheesecake, add 1/4 cup of caramel sauce into the cheesecake filling before baking.
  • This recipe works well for making easy apple crisp bars if you bake it in a 9×13 inch pan instead of a springform pan.
