Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

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

Apple Layer

  • 3 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples

Crumb 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 easy removal of the cheesecake after baking.
  2. Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add granulated sugar and flour and mix until well incorporated. Beat in vanilla extract. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a smooth batter.
  3. Assemble Cheesecake and Apples: Spread the prepared cheesecake batter evenly into the greased springform pan. Arrange the peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples in a circular pattern on top of the batter, creating an even layer.
  4. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Evenly sprinkle this crumb topping over the arranged apples in the pan.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the center is almost set but slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling time helps the cheesecake set firmly and meld the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smoother batter and easier mixing.
  • Do not overbake; the center should be slightly jiggly to avoid a dry, cracked cheesecake.
  • For best results, refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to develop fully.
  • If Granny Smith apples are not available, substitute with other tart apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Braeburn.
  • You can loosely cover the cheesecake with foil during baking if the crumb topping or edges start to brown too quickly.
