- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Apple Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Apple Filling:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the apple crisp topping. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until the apples are evenly coated.
- Spread the apple filling over the cheesecake layer, then sprinkle the apple crisp topping over the apples.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the topping is golden brown.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen. Remove the sides of the springform pan and let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Slice and serve the apple crisp cheesecake, and enjoy!
The Apple Crisp Cheesecake is a delightful fusion of two classic desserts, combining the creamy richness of cheesecake with the comforting flavors of apple crisp. This decadent treat has its roots in American cuisine, where the tradition of apple-based desserts runs deep. The marriage of creamy cheesecake and spiced apple filling creates a symphony of flavors and textures that has captivated dessert lovers for decades. Renowned chefs and home bakers alike have put their own spin on this beloved dessert, incorporating seasonal spices, crunchy streusel toppings, and a variety of apple varieties to create unique and irresistible versions. The best renditions of this dessert can be found in cozy bakeries and upscale restaurants across the United States, particularly in regions known for their apple orchards, such as New England and the Midwest. To achieve the perfect Apple Crisp Cheesecake, attention to detail is key. The creamy cheesecake base should be velvety smooth, with a hint of tanginess to balance the sweetness of the apple filling. The apples, often a mix of tart and sweet varieties, should be tender yet slightly firm, infused with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The crisp topping, typically made with oats, butter, and brown sugar, adds a delightful crunch and caramelized sweetness to each bite. For those looking to put a unique twist on this classic dessert, alternative methods such as incorporating caramel or pecans into the apple filling, or using a graham cracker crust for added crunch, can elevate the Apple Crisp Cheesecake to new heights of indulgence. Whether enjoyed during the fall harvest season or as a year-round indulgence, this dessert is a celebration of comforting flavors and expert craftsmanship.
