Apple Crumb Cheesecake Pie Tips
- When preparing the apple filling for this pie, if it appears too watery, add a teaspoon or two more cornstarch into the mixture to thicken it up. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Before adding your ingredients to the pie dish, spray it generously with cooking spray to keep the ingredients from getting stuck to the pan when you’re trying to serve the dessert.
- Make sure you let this dessert cool down completely on a wire rack before you place it in the fridge. Once you’ve put it in the fridge, let it chill for up to three hours before you slice into it and serve it.
Apple Cheesecake Pie FAQs
What types of apples should I use for this recipe?
Granny Smith apples are an excellent choice. However, you can use any apples you have on hand.
Can I use pre-made apple pie filling?
You can use canned pre-made apple pie filling if you’d like to save time. However, I prefer the homemade version because it tastes fresh.
What should I do if I only have unsalted butter for the crumb topping?
It’s not a problem! Once you melt the butter down, sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and give it a good mix before combining your butter with the oats and other ingredients.

Instructions
Apple Pie Filling
- Peel and dice your apples and place in a large bowl. Toss in lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
- Heat over med-high heat until the mixture comes to a light boil. Reduce heat to medium and mix in the apples.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-12 minutes until you can pierce the apples with a fork.
- Allow to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until thickened. I recommend making the filling a day before you need to serve the pie.
Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. and prepare a 9” pie dish by spraying generously with non-stick spray.
- Roll out your refrigerated crust, and place in the pie plate. Fold the edges of the crust as desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese on high speed for 5-6 minutes until completely smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla and mix until just combined.
- Add the egg last and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the cheesecake filling on top of the prepared crust.
- Spoon the apple pie filling over top of the cheesecake layer.
Crumb Topping
- In a medium bowl. Mix all the topping ingredients. Sprinkle over the apple pie filling.
- Bake the pie for 40 minutes. About halfway through, add a piece of aluminum foil on top of the pie to keep from browning too much.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for one hour. Refrigerate 2-3 hours until completely chilled.
- Serve with ice cream and caramel drizzle if desired!
