Ingredients

Scale

Graham Crust:

  • 14 graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Crisp Topping:

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened and cut into small cubes

Apple Topping:

  • 2 cups peeled and small-diced honeycrisp apples (cut into about ½ inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 32 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature (four 8-ounce blocks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. This is important to ensure a smooth batter.
  2. Make the graham crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until you get fine crumbs. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and pulse a few more times. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse until moist crumbs form. Transfer the mixture onto a 9-inch springform pan, press it tightly into a compact crust, and pre-bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.
  3. Make the crisp topping: Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Add butter and work it with your fingers until pea-size crumbs form. Set aside.
  4. Make the apple topping: Combine apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  5. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla, then mix in eggs one at a time. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble and bake in a water bath: Prepare a water bath, wrap pan in foil, pour batter into crust, top with apples and crisp topping, and bake in a water bath for 70-75 minutes at 325°F.
  7. Cool and serve: Cool cheesecake in the oven, then refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled with optional toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter consistency.
  • Pre-bake the crust to ensure it holds up against the creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Drain excess liquid from the apples to prevent a soggy cheesecake.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually to prevent cracks.
