Key Ingredients for Apple Crisp Cheesecake

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious cheesecake:

  • For the crust:
    • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
    • ½ cup melted butter
    • ¼ cup sugar
  • For the cheesecake filling:
    • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the apple crisp topping:
    • 2 cups chopped apples (peeled and cored)
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup rolled oats
    • ½ cup flour
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • ¼ cup cold butter (cubed)

Ingredients for Apple Crisp Cheesecake

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). This ensures your cheesecake bakes evenly.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.
  3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, blending until integrated. Add eggs and vanilla extract and continue mixing until creamy.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Prepare the apple crisp topping: In another bowl, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon. Toss until the apples are well-coated. Scatter the cold, cubed butter on top and mix until crumbly.
  6. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  7. Bake the whole thing in the oven for about 50-60 minutes. The cheesecake should set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
  8. Let it cool: Once done, let it cool at room temperature for an hour; then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

What to Serve Apple Crisp Cheesecake With

Pair your Apple Crisp Cheesecake with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a touch of indulgence. A warm cup of spiced apple cider or steaming coffee complements the dessert beautifully. Consider serving it with a side of caramel sauce to elevate it even further!

Top Tips for Perfecting Apple Crisp Cheesecake

  1. Go for seasonal apples: Depending on the season, use apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji for the best flavor.
  2. Don’t skip cooling: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating—this will improve the overall texture and taste.
  3. Experiment with flavors: Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the apples or incorporating a bit of lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
  4. Avoid overmixing: When whipping the cheesecake batter, take care not to incorporate too much air, which can lead to cracks during baking.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Leftover Apple Crisp Cheesecake can stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Store it covered or in an airtight container to retain its moisture and flavor. If you’d like to keep it longer, you can also freeze it for up to 3 months! To reheat, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and then warm it in the oven at a low temperature for the best results.

So, are you ready to indulge in the warmth and comfort of Apple Crisp Cheesecake? Trust me, this dessert is bound to become a family favorite. Enjoy baking and savor every creamy, crunchy bite!
