  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g powdered sugar
  • 250 g sour cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 100 g flour
  • 50 g rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 90 g melted butter
  • 70 g brown sugar

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Slice the peeled apples into thin pieces.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter with water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice, then add apple slices and coat thoroughly.
  3. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, then stir in cornstarch slurry and let it cool completely.
  4. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Crush cookies into fine crumbs and mix with powdered sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
  5. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a lined springform pan and bake for 8 minutes.
  6. Lower oven temperature to 140°C (285°F) and beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Mix in sour cream, then add eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed. Fold in cornstarch gently.
  8. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; mix in melted butter to create crumble.
  9. Assemble cheesecake by pouring half of the cheesecake batter onto the cooled crust, layer apple filling, followed by the remaining batter, and sprinkle crumble on top.
  10. Bake for about 1 hour until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle, then turn off the oven and let cool in the oven with door cracked for 1-2 hours.

Notes

Don't skip the cooling period for the apple filling to prevent a soggy cheesecake.
For a twist, consider adding chopped nuts to the crumble topping for additional crunch.
This cheesecake can be made ahead of time, as the flavors deepen and improve after a night in the fridge.
