Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (24 oz or 675g) blocks cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (about 2 medium) apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top.
- In another bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread this apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake batter.
- For the crumble topping, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumble over the apples.
- Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
- Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Use a water bath or place a pan of hot water in the oven to reduce cracking.
- You can use any variety of baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Cheesecake can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
