Apple Pie Cheesecake
A decadent and towering fusion of creamy cheesecake and traditional apple pie, featuring a graham cracker crust, spiced sautéed apples, and a golden oat streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and divided
- 24 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 large Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup melted butter and press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, sauté sliced apples with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until just tender. Let cool.
- Beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
- Pour cheesecake batter over the crust. Arrange the sautéed apples on top.
- Mix the remaining butter, flour, and remaining spices to create a crumble, then sprinkle over the apples.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Cool in the oven with the door cracked for one hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
Notes
- Sautéing the apples first prevents them from releasing too much moisture into the cheesecake during baking.
- Slow cooling is the secret to a crack-free cheesecake surface.
- Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce for a true showstopper finish.
