Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Apple Crisp Topping

  • 3 cups (about 3 medium) peeled, cored, and sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (76 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the flour and salt, blending until just combined. Pour this batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan, spreading evenly.
  2. Bake Base: Bake the cheesecake base for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Prepare Apple Topping: In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine oats, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter until crumbly.
  4. Assemble and Bake With Topping: Spread the tossed apples evenly over the partially baked cheesecake base. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top of the apples. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully. Slice and serve chilled or slightly warmed for a comforting dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tart flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth batter without lumps.
  • Do not overbake the cheesecake base; it should be slightly jiggly in the center before adding the topping.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
