Directions for Apple Crisp Cheesecake
Let’s bake this cozy apple oat treat!
Prepare the Crust
I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I grease a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment. In a bowl, I mix 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup melted butter. I press this into the pan’s base and bake for 8 minutes. I cool slightly for this spiced creamy cheesecake.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, I beat 24 oz cream cheese and ¾ cup sugar until smooth. I add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well, then blend in 1 tsp vanilla extract. I pour this over the cooled crust, spreading evenly for this cozy recipe.
Prep the Apple Layer
In a bowl, I toss 2 cups diced apples with ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ⅛ tsp nutmeg. I spoon this evenly over the cheesecake filling, letting it rest gently for this apple oat treat.
Mix the Crisp Topping
In a bowl, I combine ½ cup flour, ½ cup oats, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup pecans (if using). I cut in ¼ cup cold butter with a pastry cutter until crumbly. I sprinkle this over the apples for this spiced creamy cheesecake.
Bake and Chill
I bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes until the center is just set (slightly wobbly). I cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for this Apple Crisp Cheesecake.
