  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Pie Filling

  • 2 3/4 cups apples, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (3 medium apples)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Crisp Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 large egg

For Serving

  • Salted caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple pie filling: Peel the apples and dice them into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan. Add the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat until the apples are slightly softened and the sauce has thickened, about 10–15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Set aside and allow the filling to cool before using.
  3. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until evenly moistened.
  4. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  5. Prepare the crisp topping: Stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbs form. Set aside.
  6. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar, vanilla, and flour until combined. Add the slightly beaten egg and mix just until incorporated.
  7. Assemble the pie: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prebaked graham cracker crust. Spread the cooled apple filling over the cheesecake layer.
  8. Add the topping: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes. If the top starts browning too much, tent it with aluminum foil.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce or serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Apple preparation: Peel and dice the apples into approximately 1/2-inch cubes for the filling.
  • Cool the filling: Let the cooked apple mixture cool before spreading it over the cheesecake layer.
  • Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Prebake for 8 minutes.
  • Prevent overbrowning: Tent the pie with aluminum foil if the crisp topping begins browning too much during baking.
  • Serving: Cool completely before slicing. Serve with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
  • Yield: 12 servings.
