Ingredients

Crust: 

1 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2  cup (1 sticks) butter, softened

Cheesecake Filling:

1.5 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided

1 large eggs

1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Apples:

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Streusel Topping: 

1/2  cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup quick cooking oats

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup caramel sauce (for topping, optional) 


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or 2 forks) until the mixture is crumbly. Press evenly into a 8x8 baking pan lined with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

 

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Then add eggs, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour over warm crust.

 

In a small bowl, stir together chopped apples, remainining sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture. 

 

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. I like to really combine it by using my clean hands to thoroughly combine the butter into the mixture.

Sprinkle evenly with Streusel topping. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until filling is set. Drizzle with caramel topping and let cool. Serve cold and enjoy!
