Ingredients
Scale
- 350 g Lotus biscoff cookies
- 150 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 55 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 20 g rolled oats
- 3 tart apples (peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/8″ thick slices)
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 690 g cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Break the Lotus biscoff cookies into chunks and pulse in a food processor until finely crushed. Pour in 150 g melted butter and pulse until the crumbs look like wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely.
- Make the crumble topping by mixing together 50 g all-purpose flour, 50 g brown sugar, 20 g rolled oats, 55 g melted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until it forms coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Toss the sliced apples with 50 g brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
- Beat 690 g cream cheese and 75 g granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix until incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just blended.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled biscoff crust. Top with half of the apple mixture. Add remaining batter, smooth it out, and top with the remaining apples. Scatter the crumble on top.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes until the edges are set. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, chill the cheesecake overnight before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
