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 Topping

  • 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) and grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and flour, mixing until fully combined. Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each to create a smooth batter.
  3. Layer Apples: Spread the cheesecake batter evenly into the prepared springform pan. Arrange the peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples on top of the batter in a circular pattern for an even distribution of fruit.
  4. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this crumb topping evenly over the apple layer.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the assembled cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. This ensures a creamy texture after cooling.
  6. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to help it set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter.
  • Granny Smith apples provide a tart contrast, but other firm apples can be substituted.
  • Ensure the crumb topping evenly covers the apples for a balanced texture.
  • Chilling time is essential to achieve the right cheesecake consistency.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and neat presentation.
