Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla and sour cream until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, toss diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp flour.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Add the apple mixture, then top with the remaining cheesecake batter and smooth the top.
- In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining oats, brown sugar, flour, and cubed butter. Mix with a fork or fingers until crumbly.
- Sprinkle crumble evenly over the cheesecake.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven and let cheesecake cool with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Optional: Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For best texture, chill overnight before slicing.
- You can use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
