How to Make Apple Crisp Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let it cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour; mix until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating at low speed (don’t overmix!).
Pour the batter over the cooled crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Apple Topping

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice for 5 minutes until soft.
Spread the apples evenly over the cheesecake batter.

Step 4: Make the Crisp Topping

In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle it over the apple layer.

Step 5: Bake the Cheesecake

Place the cheesecake in a water bath (wrap the pan in foil and set it in a larger pan with hot water).
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 50-55 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is best!).
