Ingredients

• For the Nutmeg Cookie Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups crushed nutmeg cookies
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• For the Cinnamon Sugar Apples:
• 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• For the Crumble Topping:
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine crushed nutmeg cookies, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
4. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Prepare the Apples: While the cheesecake is baking, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Set aside.
6. Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter until crumbly.
7. Assemble the Dessert: After the cheesecake has baked, remove it from the oven and top with the cinnamon sugar apples and crumble topping. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream.
