Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Gala recommended)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- Boiling water (for the water bath)
- Salted caramel sauce (to serve)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan with tin foil and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes and set aside.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon, then refrigerate.
- In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in oats and melted butter until the mixture is clumpy.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugars until smooth. Mix in cornstarch and cinnamon, then add sour cream and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing carefully.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Arrange the apple slices on top and sprinkle the crisp topping mixture over the apples.
- Place the pan in a roasting pan and add boiling water until it’s about 1 inch up the sides.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, then cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Run a knife around the edges to loosen, remove the sides of the springform pan, and slice. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Avoid adding caramel sauce until just before serving for the best flavor.
