🔪How to Make Apple Crumble Cheesecake Recipe?
Step One: Break the cookies with a rolling pin into crumbs, and add melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Step Two: Mix the ingredients together. Wrap the mold with foil 3-4 times tightly. Lay out the base, forming the sides.
Step Three: Send to the oven for 10 minutes, bake at 180C.
Step Four: Mix cream cheese with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and sour cream. Incorporate starch. Add eggs one at a time to the dough, ensuring to mix well but not beat.
Step Five: Send the cheesecake filling to the base. Flatten the top.
Step Six: Peel and very thinly slice apples. Sprinkle the sliced apples with cinnamon and sugar, then arrange apple pie filling on top of the cheesecake mixture.
Step Seven: Mix together oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until the consistency resembles wet sand. Evenly distribute the crunchy crumble topping over the apples.
Step Eight: Place the form in a large frying pan or a tall baking sheet, and pour boiling water there so that the cheesecake is baked in a water bath. Leave in the oven for 60 minutes at 180 C. Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate it for 6 hours or overnight to set properly. Garnish your Apple Crumble Cheesecake with salted caramel sauce before serving, adding an extra layer of sweetness.

👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Selecting Apple Variety: For the best apple cheesecake, you'll want to use a firmer apple such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Butter Matters: For the crumble, use unsalted butter that's cold. This helps achieve a flaky, crisp texture once baked.
💭 FAQs
The best cookies to use are graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or gingersnaps. The reason is that these cookies are firmer and will hold up better when mixed with butter.
Yes, you can use granulated sugar, brown sugar, or a combination of the two. However, keep in mind that the flavor of the cheesecake will be slightly different depending on which sugar you use.
No, it’s not necessary to use corn starch. However, many people find that it helps to thicken the cheesecake and prevent it from cracking.
Keep the cheesecake cool in its original dish covered with foil or plastic wrap, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. Enjoy within 5 days for optimal freshness when stored in the refrigerator. For longer storage, wrap the cooled cheesecake in several layers of plastic wrap or foil and freeze. Properly wrapped cheesecake can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite dishes to serve with Apple Crumble Cheesecake:
