Easy Apple Crumble Cheesecake
A delightful combination of creamy cheesecake and buttery apple crumble, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
For the Crumble Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition. Then, fold in the flour and cinnamon, mixing until just combined. Finally, stir in the diced apples.
- If making the crust from scratch, crush graham crackers or biscuits to create about 1 ½ cups. Combine with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Baking
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly wiggles.
- In another bowl, mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Drizzle melted butter and combine until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of the cheesecake and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Cooling and Serving
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Slice and serve your amazing Easy Apple Crumble Cheesecake!
Notes
You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter version or use plant-based cream cheeses for a vegan option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
