Main Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
For the base of our Apple Crumble Cheesecake, we need 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs. These crumbs provide the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch that complements the creamy filling beautifully. Combine them with ½ cup of unsalted butter (melted) and ½ cup of sugar for an irresistible crust that holds everything together.
Cream Cheese
You’ll require 16 ounces (two packages) of cream cheese for the filling. Make sure it’s softened at room temperature; this step is crucial for achieving that smooth and creamy texture we all love in cheesecakes. Cream cheese delivers rich flavor while providing that signature creaminess that makes cheesecakes so delectable.
Granulated Sugar
We will use 1 cup of granulated sugar in total—¾ cup for the filling and ¼ cup for the apple mixture. Sugar enhances sweetness and balances out the tartness of apples, helping create a harmonious blend of flavors throughout the dessert.
Eggs
Three large eggs are essential for our cheesecake filling. They act as binding agents while also adding richness to the overall flavor profile. Ensure they are at room temperature before incorporating them into your mix for optimal blending.
Apples
We suggest using three medium-sized Granny Smith apples for their tartness and firm texture—perfect for baking! Peel, core, and slice them thinly before tossing them with ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon (to taste). This mixture will not only infuse flavor but also soften beautifully during baking
