Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese Use room temperature for a smoother texture.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups diced apples A mix of sweet and tart apples is recommended.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Sprinkle over diced apples.
For the crumble topping
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
For serving
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce Drizzle over the crumble before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and can hold together. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in heavy whipping cream and continue to beat until the mixture is fluffy and light.
  3. Gently fold in the diced apples sprinkled with cinnamon. Pour the apple-infused mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and melted butter until it resembles crumbs. Sprinkle this over the cheesecake mixture.
  5. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the crumble.
  6. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

For a gluten-free twist, swap rolled oats for crushed nuts. Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese for the best texture.
