Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups (300 grams) apples, peeled and sliced
Crust and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) flour
Flavoring and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven temperature to 350°F and meticulously construct the graham cracker foundation for the cheesecake base.
- Whip cream cheese with granulated sweetener, eggs, and aromatic vanilla extract until silky smooth, then gently cascade the mixture over the prepared crust.
- Delicately tumble crisp apple slices with fragrant ground cinnamon and rich brown sugar, artfully arranging the spiced fruit across the creamy cheesecake landscape.
- Craft a rustic streusel topping by integrating hearty rolled oats, all-purpose flour, nuanced brown sugar, and melted butter, creating a crumbly texture that will crown the apple layer.
- Transfer the assembled dessert into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for approximately 50-60 minutes until the cheesecake sets with a gentle wobble and the streusel transforms into a golden-amber landscape.
- Remove from the oven and permit the cheesecake to cool completely, enabling the layers to harmonize and settle before slicing and serving this decadent fusion of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or oat-based crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduce sugar quantities to create a lighter, healthier dessert option.
- Experiment with different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for varied texture and tartness in the crisp topping.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the apple mixture for a warm, aromatic twist.
