For the Cheesecake

16 ounces cream cheese ensures a rich and creamy base
1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds a warm, aromatic note
3 large eggs binds the ingredients
1 cup sour cream adds tangy richness
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour helps set the cheesecake

For the Apple Layer

3 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn) peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup brown sugar enhances sweetness
1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens the apple flavors
1 teaspoon cinnamon infuses warm spice
¼ teaspoon nutmeg deepens the flavor

For the Crumble Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour creates the base of your crumble
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes produces a rich, crumbly texture
1 cup rolled oats adds chewiness and heartiness

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease your springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gently stir in sour cream and flour until just combined.
In a separate bowl, toss apples with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the springform pan, then layer the spiced apple mixture on top.
In another bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar, then add cold butter and mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
Bake for about 1 hour. The edges should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Remove sides of the springform pan, slice, and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best flavor, choose crisp apple varieties like Granny Smith. Avoid overmixing to keep the cheesecake light and creamy. Proper cooling and chilling are essential for texture.
