A delightful fusion of apple pie and cheesecake, this nutty apple crumb cheesecake pie features a creamy cheesecake layer, cinnamon-spiced apples, and a buttery nut crumb topping — all nestled in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (for apples)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. Pour cheesecake mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
  5. Arrange the cinnamon-coated apple slices over the cheesecake layer.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly, then stir in chopped nuts.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if crust begins to brown too quickly.
  9. Cool pie completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly for clean slices.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
