  • 5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted
For the Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats or gluten-free oats
For the Apple Filling
  • 4 cups Tart Apples (e.g., Granny Smith) sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch or arrowroot powder
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar or erythritol
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 3 large Eggs or flax eggs for vegan option

Equipment

  • 9" springform pan
  • Food Processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Medium saucepan
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs, then mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9" springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set while you prepare the topping.
Make the Topping
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter, mixing until crumbly. Set aside to cool at room temperature while you prepare the apple filling.
Cook the Apples
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add sliced tart apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook for about 8–10 minutes or until the apples become tender and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Preheat Oven
  1. Set your oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) to ensure even baking.
Mix Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually incorporate Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and spices, mixing until combined. Add eggs one at a time.
Assemble Cake
  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, smoothing into an even layer. Spoon the cooled apple mixture over the batter, spreading gently. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
Bake
  1. Bake for 65-70 minutes, until slightly jiggly in the center. A gentle jiggle indicates it's perfectly baked.
Cool
  1. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Monitor baking time to prevent cracks and consider using a water bath for a creamier texture.
