This Apple Crisp Cheesecake has a creamy vanilla filling and topped with cinnamon apples and crumbly topping. A special dessert recipe to have on hand.
This year has been apple-mania at our house! With 3 tubs full of fresh, juicy apples we've been trying them in all sorts of recipes. Usually on Sunday the DIY Guy makes us an apple crisp dessert which on it's own is fantastic and a treat that I really look forward to. But what do you think of using the crispy, crumbly topping on a creamy cheesecake - oh yeah that kicks it up a notch! So if you like apple crisp and cheesecake, this is a match made in heaven!
While this dessert is a bit on the putzy side, you’ll be so pleased with the end results. Just make a day ahead so this show stopper is ready for any occasion. Also, spring form pans come in many sizes and I would find a 10″ pan to use as stated. I think a 9″ would be too small and may not bake properly. As far as what kind of apples, well ours were Regent which is pretty native to our area (developed at the University of Minnesota). I would use any kind of apple that is recommended for baking (like what you would use for pies) I liked that our apples kept their shape and didn’t bake down into mush.
This is definitely company worthy and would be an impressive ending to dinner. Just be sure to start the day ahead so it's ready to go. A drizzle of caramel sauce is a good idea too! Enjoy.
