Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened, then press into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour mixture over the cooled crust.
- Toss apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until coated. Spread apples evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and cold butter cubes in a bowl. Use fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over the apple layer.
- Place cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until center is set but slightly jiggly. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Slice and serve chilled or warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
