Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  • Pour Filling Over Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
  • Prepare the Apple Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, flour, brown sugar, oats, cold cubed butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle Topping: Sprinkle the apple crisp topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  • Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the topping is golden brown.
  • Cool Completely: Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before cutting into squares.
