Delicious Apple Crumble Cheesecake

This Apple Crumble Cheesecake combines the best of both worlds! A creamy cheesecake base is topped with a sweet and spiced apple crumble for a truly decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • For the Apple Crumble Topping:
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream.
  3. Make the Apple Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the apple crumble topping evenly over the filling.
  5. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  7. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice to serve.

Notes

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
