Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Apple Crumble Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the diced apples and cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake mixture.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, and nuts (if using). Drizzle in melted butter and mix until crumbly.
7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake layer.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Drizzle the whipped cream over the cheesecake slices for a creamy finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter.
• Don’t skip the chilling time; it helps the cheesecake set properly.
• Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor—Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work well together.

Easy Variations

• Add a splash of caramel sauce on top for an extra sweet touch.
• Swap out the apples for pears or berries for a different fruit twist.
• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the apple mixture for added spice.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Freshly brewed coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
