Apple Pie + Cheesecake In One Easy Recipe!
Today I’m excited to share a brand new cookbook with you from my friend Jocelyn of the blog Inside BruCrew Life. It’s one I know you’ll love because it’s all about cheesecake and appropriately titled “Cheesecake Love”. If you hang around this site a lot, you know I LOVE me some cheesecake, so I have been pumped for her book to come out and to be able to share it with you!
Since the cookbook is all about cheesecake, there’s a nice variety of all kinds of ways to incorporate cheesecake into dessert. There’s the regular full sized cheesecakes and minis, plus some no bake ones, brownies, bars and of course pies. And if you don’t get enough cheesecake throughout the day, there’s even a chapter on cheesecake for breakfast!
With fun cheesecakes like Banana Split, Caramel Pecan Cheesecake, Cookies and Cream Mocha Brownie Cake and White Chocolate Blackberry Cheesecake, what’s not to love?! It’d definitely make a great addition to your library, and a great gift this holiday for the cheesecake lover in your life.
How To Make Homemade Apple Pie Filling
So let’s talk a little bit about this cheesecake pie that I get to share with you from her book. Despite several layers of deliciousness, it’s really easy to make. You’ll want to start by making the apple pie filling and then letting it cool. It’s made right over the stove. Sugar, cornstarch, some spices and water are all cooked until thickened, then the apples are added and cooked a bit. It works quite well, giving you the thickened filling without overcooking the apples. You can easily cook the apple filling a couple days ahead too, which is nice.
For the crust, I used a refrigerate pie crust – nice and easy. The first layer to add is the cheesecake layer. Next up is the already made apple pie filling. Because the cheesecake layer is thin before baking, I recommend spooning the filling over it so that it’s even. On top is the oatmeal crumb – SO good and the perfect way to finish it off!
How Long Does Apple Cheesecake Need To Cool?
Bake the pie and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate until firm. The final pie is absolutely delicious! A wonderful combination of textures and such delicious flavors! It was a HUGE hit with our church group. Such a delicious first recipe to try from Jocelyn’s cookbook – Cheesecake Love. I hope you give it a try and definitely check out the new book! It’s a great one!

Instructions
1. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples and toss to coat. Set the apples aside.

3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Add the apples and increase the heat to medium-high heat to bring the mixture to a full boil again. Reduce the heat to low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
5. Refrigerate the filling in an airtight container for 4-6 hours to thicken. Store in the refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

6. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with non-stick baking spray.
7. Place the pie crust in the pie plate. Fold the edges of the crust under and mold them to your preference. Refrigerate until ready to use.
8. To make the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese until creamy.
9. Add the sugar and beat the mixture until smooth.
10. Add the egg and beat until full incorporated. Do not overbeat the batter.
11. Spread the cheesecake batter in the prepared pie crust.
12. Gently spoon the apple pie filling on top of the cheesecake batter.
13. For the crumb topping, mix together the crumb topping ingredients. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apple pie filling.
14. Bake the cheesecake pie for 40 minutes.
15. Remove the pie plate from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the cheesecake pie cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely chilled.
16. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel topping, if desired.

Enjoy!
Could you use premade apple pie filling in can?
I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure. It would be worth a try.
How do u know if the cheesecake is done
You want it to be set, but still jiggle a bit. It shouldn’t be too wiggly or sloshy, if that makes sense.
Can this be made in advance?
Sure. It should be fine to store it in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
Hi! What type of apples work best for this?
I’d recommend something like granny smith, golden delicious or honeycrisp. You can even do a mix of two kinds.
