Ever since I was a little girl, fall has always been my favorite time of year. Maybe it’s the crisp air, the vibrant colors of the leaves, or the way the world seems to slow down and embrace warmth and comfort. What does this mean for you? This cheesecake is all of that bundled into one delicious dessert! I remember one particular autumn evening, baking with my grandmother. The scent of cinnamon and apples filled the kitchen, and I knew that even then, those simple moments were more precious than any store-bought treat. We didn't have much but the time spent together and the delicious smells that swirled around us are some of the best memories. I hope this recipe brings a little of that warmth and nostalgia to your home, too.

It will be a hit, trust me, you can tell from the look of this cheesecake.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely. Make sure not to burn it, that can happen really fast. Just sayin'.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Don't overmix; overmixing can lead to cracks in your cheesecake.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a saucepan, combine the peeled and diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but still slightly firm, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spoon the apple filling evenly over the cheesecake layer. Top with the remaining cheesecake filling.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks. I know, it's hard to resist, but trust me, it's worth it!
- Chill the Cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cheesecake to fully set. Or just dig right in while its hot! (Just kidding, don't do that).
- Serve: Run a thin knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake. Carefully remove the sides of the pan. Slice and serve. Consider a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Be sure to savor every single bite!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped nuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular cake pan, but make sure to line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
