Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a springform pan with parchment paper; grease lightly.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar for the crust. Press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla and sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, toss chopped apples with 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spread apple mixture evenly on top.
- To make the crumble, mix flour, oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, until the center is just set. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool in oven with door ajar.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumble for extra texture.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for added indulgence.
- Use a mix of apples and pears for variation.
- No water bath needed—cooling slowly in the oven helps prevent cracks.
