Ingredients
- 200 g graham cracker crumbs
- 60 g unsalted butter, melted
- 40 g granulated sugar
- 450 g cream cheese, softened
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 120 g sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 15 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 70 g rolled oats
- 75 g brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted
- 60 g chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a 23 × 23 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside.
- Prepare the cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in sour cream and vanilla.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Prepare the apples: Toss the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Spoon evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Make the crumble: Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Add melted butter and stir until coarse crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the center is mostly set and the crumble is lightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled or slightly chilled.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers and flour.
- Feel free to substitute the apples with pears or other fruits.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra treat.
