Ingredients
350 g Lotus Biscoff cookies
150 g unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
55 g unsalted butter, melted (for crumble)
50 g all-purpose flour
50 g brown sugar
20 g rolled oats
3 tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
50 g brown sugar (for apples)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
690 g cream cheese, room temperature
75 g granulated sugar
100 g Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 large eggs, room temperature
Instructions
- Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into a parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan. Chill while preparing the rest.
- Combine melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and oats to make the crumble topping. Set aside.
- Cook apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch over medium-high heat until tender and jammy. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C). In a bowl, blend cream cheese, sugar, yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Top with cooled apple mixture, then sprinkle over the crumble topping.
- Bake for 65–70 minutes until center is just slightly jiggly. Cool completely, then chill at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Release from pan, slice, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use graham crackers or ginger snaps for crust variation.
- Replace apples with pears or peaches for a twist.
- Try cardamom or pumpkin pie spice instead of the spice mix.
- Add toasted nuts to the crumble for extra crunch.
- Wrap individual slices to freeze for up to 1 month.
