Biscoff Crust
- 350 g Lotus Biscoff cookies
- 150 g unsalted butter, melted
Crumble Topping
- 55 g unsalted butter, melted
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 20 g rolled oats
Apple Topping
- 3 tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into ⅛” thick slices
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Cheesecake
- 690 g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- Prepare Biscoff Crust: Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies finely using a food processor or rolling pin. Combine the crushed cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing other components.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together melted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats to form a thick, crumbly paste. Set aside to cool and firm up.
- Cook Apple Topping: Combine the sliced tart apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch in a small pot. Cook over medium-high heat until apples are fork-tender and the juices have thickened into a jammy consistency. Allow to cool.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy using a spatula.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate eggs one at a time into the batter, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully combined.
- Fill Pan: Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled Biscoff crust, spreading evenly.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the cooked apple slices evenly over the cheesecake batter. Crumble the prepared crumble topping over the apples, distributing it evenly.
- Bake Cheesecake: Place an empty sheet pan on the lower oven rack to catch any drips. Bake the cheesecake for 65-70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but mostly set.
- Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set fully.
- Serve: Run an offset spatula around the edges to loosen and remove from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Ensure apples are cooked until soft but not mushy for best texture.
- Chilling the crust before filling helps it set firmly.
- Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center ensures a creamy cheesecake texture.
- Letting the cheesecake rest overnight enhances the flavors.
- This cheesecake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
