Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
6 tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter
¼ cup Granulated Sugar
24 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup Granulated Sugar
½ cup Sour Cream
2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
4 medium Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled and diced
½ cup All-Purpose Flour
½ cup Rolled Oats
½ cup Brown Sugar, packed
¼ cup Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Instructions
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the sour cream, eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Prepare the Apple Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble the Squares: Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the apple crisp topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the pan with foil.
Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake squares cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the cheesecake squares out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
