Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

For the Crumb Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the diced apples with ground cinnamon and nutmeg (if using). Gently fold the spiced apples into the cheesecake mixture.

Baking

  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and ground cinnamon. Use your hands or a fork to create a crumbly texture.
  • Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the cheesecake filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and the crumb topping is golden brown.

Cooling and Serving

  • Once baked, cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Slice the pie and serve it straight from the refrigerator or allow it to come to room temperature.

Notes

For the best presentation, serve chilled, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a delightful pairing. The pie is best served cold after it has had time to set.
