This apple crisp cheesecake is the perfect dessert to serve on all occasions.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the graham crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Dump the mixture into the springform pan and press flat with the bottom of a cup.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- In a medium-size bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, and water to a simmer on low heat. Simmer until the mixture has thickened. Add the apples and toss. Remove from the heat while you make the crumb topping and cream cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, add the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix to combine. Set to the side.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese and sugar on low speed, until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until mixed. Don’t over mix. Pour the filling over the graham crust and spread evenly.
- Scoop the apples on top of the cream cheese filling and then top with the apple crumble.
- Arrange the racks so that you have one in the middle and one on the bottom. Place a baking tray on the bottom rack to collect any drippings from the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack. Note: while the cheesecake is baking it will puff up and a few of the apples may spill over, but don’t worry, once you are finished baking, the cheesecake will shrink back down when it cools.
- Bake the cheesecake for 65 – 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the cream cheese layer is between 150-155ºF.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let cool to room temperature, anywhere from 3 – 4 hours. Once at room temperature, you can remove the springform pan, or you can place cheesecake in the fridge overnight. Before you remove the springform pan run a knife around the outside of the cake to loosen. note: if you cover the cheesecake with cling wrap, the condensation will pool, so remember to flip the cling wrap halfway through so that the water doesn’t drip onto the cake.
- Bring the cheesecake to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- The cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for 1 week.
