Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g digestive or graham crackers
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1½ tbsp dark brown sugar
- 50 g butter, melted
- 150 g apple, diced small (1–2 apples)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 80 g dark brown sugar
- 70 g butter, room temperature
- 600 g full-fat cream cheese, room temp
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 150 g sour cream (14–18%), room temp
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F. Blend crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and blend until moistened.
- Line a 22 cm springform pan with parchment. Press crumbs firmly across the bottom and slightly up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
- Toss diced apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Let sit while making the filling.
- Mix flour, brown sugar, and room-temp butter in a bowl until crumbly.
- Beat cream cheese on low for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix for 1 minute.
- Whisk sour cream and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to cream cheese with vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each addition. Scrape and give a final short mix.
- Pour cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Scatter drained apples over the top and sprinkle crumble evenly.
- Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes about ⅔ up the sides of the cake pan.
- Bake for 1 hour 20–30 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center should still be slightly wobbly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and cool inside for 1 hour. Remove from water bath and cool at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure to drain the apple juices before topping the cheesecake.
- Wrapping the springform pan in foil can help prevent leaks.
