Ingredients:
For the Crust:

1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
For the Apple Topping:
3 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith recommended)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
For the Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Prepare the Apple Topping:
In a medium bowl, toss the chopped apples with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture over the cheesecake layer.
Make the Crumble Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your delicious Apple Crisp Cheesecake! 🍏🍰✨
