Method
Make oat crumble crust
- Combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl, then drizzle melted unsalted butter over top and toss until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, packing it down for an even base.
- Refrigerate the pressed crust for 20 minutes, until it feels set to the touch with a cohesive crumb. Reserve 1/2 cup of the crust mixture for the crumble topping.
Make cheesecake filling
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until completely smooth, scraping the bowl as needed. The mixture should look glossy and free of any lumps.
- Fold in the whipped heavy cream until no streaks remain, then spread the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top so it’s evenly covered.
Assemble apple topping
- Stir cinnamon and nutmeg into the apple pie filling, then spoon it evenly over the cheesecake. Make sure the topping reaches the edges.
- Scatter the reserved crumble over the apple topping so it’s distributed in clusters. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight before releasing from the springform.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill overnight and run a thin knife around the edge right before releasing the springform. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freeze slices up to 1 month (thaw overnight in the fridge). For a lighter option, replace half the cream cheese with low-fat cream cheese for a slightly softer set.
