Ingredients
For the Crumble Topping & Base
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Apple Filling
3–4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Cheesecake Layer
16 oz (2 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
2. Cook the apple filling: Melt butter in a skillet, add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook 5–7 minutes until softened. Cool completely.
3. Press two-thirds of crumble into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes, then cool slightly.
4. Make cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream. Mix just until combined.
5. Pour cheesecake filling over crust. Spoon cooled apples on top, then sprinkle with remaining crumble.
6. Bake 45–55 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cool inside for 1 hour.
7. Run knife around edges. Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Always soften cream cheese to room temperature for a smooth filling.
Do not overmix once eggs are added to prevent cracks.
Let apple filling cool fully before layering onto cheesecake.
Chill cheesecake at least 6 hours for clean slices and best texture.
Store covered in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
