Ingredients

Scale

Biscoff Crust

  • 350 g Lotus Biscoff cookies
  • 150 g unsalted butter, melted

Crumble Topping

  • 55 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 20 g rolled oats

Apple Topping

  • 3 tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into ⅛” thick slices
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cheesecake Filling

  • 690 g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 75 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Crush Biscoff Cookies: Use a food processor or place the Biscoff cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin until they resemble fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare Crust: Add melted unsalted butter to the crushed cookies and mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Line a 9″ springform pan bottom with parchment paper, then press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan using a flat-bottomed cup. Refrigerate to set while preparing other components.
  3. Make Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and crumbly. Set aside to cool and firm up.
  4. Cook Apple Topping: In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir and cook until the apples are fork-tender and the juices thicken into a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake.
  6. Mix Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg using a spatula until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add Eggs: Crack the eggs in one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, folding each in gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
  8. Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the chilled Biscoff crust in the springform pan.
  9. Add Apple and Crumble Toppings: Neatly layer the cooked apple slices over the cheesecake batter. Crumble the prepared crumble topping by hand evenly over the apples.
  10. Bake: Place an empty sheet pan on the bottom oven rack to catch any drips. Bake the cheesecake for 65-70 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly when shaken.
  11. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to fully set.
  12. Release and Serve: Run an offset spatula around the pan edges before unlocking and removing the springform pan sides. Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • The Biscoff crust adds a unique spiced caramel flavor that complements the apple and cinnamon layers perfectly.
  • If tart apples are unavailable, Granny Smith apples are a great substitute to balance sweetness.
  • Allowing the cheesecake to chill overnight improves sliceability and enhances flavors.
  • You can prepare the crumble topping a day ahead and keep refrigerated until assembly.
  • For clean slices, wipe the knife with hot water between cuts.
