Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 blocks (24 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for apple filling)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for apple filling)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for crumble)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for crumble)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside.
- Make the apple filling: In a pan over medium heat, cook diced apples with sugar and cinnamon until softened. Set aside to cool.
- Make the crumble: Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix. Add eggs one at a time, then sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the crust. Spoon the cooled apple filling evenly on top.
- Sprinkle crumble topping over the apple layer.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is almost set. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour with door ajar.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Release from springform pan, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor contrast.
- Cheesecake is best chilled overnight for perfect texture.
- Wrap pan in foil and place in water bath if you want to avoid cracking.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
