Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Apple Topping

  • 3 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to ensure the cheesecake does not stick and is easy to remove after baking.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and flour, mixing until well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the prepared cheesecake batter evenly into the greased springform pan. Arrange the peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples in a circular pattern over the top of the batter, ensuring an even layer for consistent flavor.
  4. Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This topping will add a crunchy texture to the cheesecake.
  5. Add the Crumble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the arranged apples on the cheesecake. Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly to the touch.
  6. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld and the texture to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness which balances the cheesecake’s sweetness perfectly.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overbake; the center should be slightly jiggly when done to prevent cracking and ensure a creamy texture.
  • Refrigeration time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly and develop flavor.
  • This recipe is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
