Apple Crisp Cheesecake Pie is a delicious fall dessert. This decadent pie is a combo of a graham cracker crust, creamy and smooth cheesecake, sweet apple crisp, and salted caramel topping. It’s the best apple dessert for the fall baking season.

However, I recommend you try this delicious apple pie recipe. A slice of this Apple Crisp Cheesecake Pie will make you happy and satisfied even on a cold and rainy fall day. It would be the perfect pie for Thanksgiving, or anytime during the holiday season, as well.
It’s a delicious dessert idea with a wonderful combination of flavors and textures! Apple crisp and cheesecake baked together in a graham cracker crust create the perfect combination of two favorite fall desserts in one.
September is here, and I have so many delicious dessert ideas to try with apples. I like to make homemade apple pie filling, so I used it in this recipe, too.
This dessert has so many layers of deliciousness: graham cracker crust, smooth cheesecake, apple filling oatmeal crumb, and caramel topping.
But let start with homemade apple pie filling.
How to Make Homemade Apple Pie Filling?
You can use a shortcut and grab a can of apple pie filling, but I suggest you set aside less than half an hour to make good homemade stuff.
Peel the apples and diced them in small ½ inches cubes. In a large saucepan melt 1 Tablespoon of butter, add chopped apples, brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, corn starch, water, and spices. The wonderful aroma of cooked apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg that spreads through your home is priceless.
Stir everything well, cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the apples are slightly softened and the sauce is thickened. It will take about 10-15 minutes, just don’t forget to stir occasionally, or the sauce will stick at the bottom. Set aside and cool before using. You can easily cook the apple filling a couple of days ahead too, and store in the fridge.
How to Assemble Apple Crisp Cheesecake Pie
When the apple pie filling is ready, you can easily make the rest of the layers.
To make the crust stir together graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press the mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake 8 minutes at 350 F. Set aside.
Prepare the oatmeal crumb topping. Stir together flour, quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then stir in melted butter and set aside.
To make the cheesecake filling beat the cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, flour, and egg and spread the mixture I prebaked crust.
Next, spread the apples from apple pie filling. And finally, sprinkle crumb topping over the apples. Bake 35-40 minutes at 350 F. Serve with salted caramel.
Enjoy!

Omg….these look awesome
Could you make this in a springform pan? What size would you reccomend?
I made mine in an 8″ springform pan. It was the perfect size for the amount of cream cheese used. I think a 9″ would make the cheesecake too thin.
Did you use the spring form in a water bath or just open in the oven?
I would like to try in a 13×9. I make dessert for church most Sunday’s. Think it would work?
Oven temperature for baking pie? Graham cracker crust said bake it at 350 for 8 minutes but I wasn’t sure about baking the pie at 350 so I backed down to 325 and came back to the website to see if I overlooked the oven temp for the pie. It’s in the oven and wasn’t hard to make. My girlfriends are visiting tomorrow for our game day and I hope to Wow them with a delicious dessert!
Just started making this and realized there are no measurements on butter for the topping. Assuming it’s 1/4 cup (1/2 stick). Will try to come back and review how it turns out
It says 1/4 cup melted butter
Sorry for my questions, but as a european i have some problems with the measurements! When It says about the butter, the measure Is referred to the butter already melted or when It s still hard, before to melt It?
You don t have at all the amount with Weight, don t you? Thanks in Advance for your answer! I m looking forward to baking this dessert!
Hi Elisa, 1/4 cup butter is about 57 grams, and 6 Tablespoons is 85 grams. Happy baking
So you dont have to do this cheese cake the same way u would any other one..in a double boiler? I think thats what its called
For the TOPPING is it 1/4 CUP unsalted butter?
Do you bake the cheesecake later before putting the apple pie filling and crisp topping on it? Seems the pie filling would sink into the cheesecake layer otherwise? TIA!
Read the directions
Way after your comment, but in case anyone else struggles. This is the reason you have to cool the pie filling before adding. If the Filling it too hot it will melt the cream cheese layer prior to that layer starting to cook and thicken. This will cause your apples to sink and potentially get mushy as the cheesecake cooks. This is a VERY common problem when making layer cheesecake desserts
I am making dessert for Thanksgiving for a dozen people (or a few more). Do you think I could make this but in one big pan like a bar cake?
Fantastic recipe. This is definitely a keeper ❤️
I did end up baking it for 45 min and it came out perfect. I also let it cool and chilled it overnight before serving.

I tried this recipe today, and when I cut into it this evening, the inside was still liquid and it kind of caved in. Any idea where I went wrong?
What do you think about making ahead and baking the next day?? Just thinking about an already busy day!!
This is an amazing desert
★★★★★
Here still another question: what Is meant with “vanilla”? The seeds in the vanille, the aroma,..?
Vanille extract
Can this be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator overnight?
I don’t see why you couldn’t. Cheesecakes have to refrigerated before serving anyway. Loosely the top to avoid drying out.
There’s no salted caramel sauce recipe
Surprisingly easy to make. The cheesecake filling was a little too much for my 9″ pie pan–it really mounded over the top. It was a hit this Thanksgiving. Thank you!

Help! I have made this twice and still can’t get it to form! My cheesecake won’t thicken or it isn’t cooking through or something! What am I doing wrong???
★★★★
Great recipe! Just one issue. 2.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs ended up being twice as much as needed for a single 9″ pie dish and 6 tablespoons of butter was also not enough for the amount of crumbs. I ended up using a 24cm/9.5″ springform pan which was perfect for this recipe.
What temp and time adjustments would you make if you wanted to bake this in 3 in. Individual ring molds
I’ve made this dessert at least 5-6 times now over the last few years; it’s my go to dessert if I want to show off. I follow the recipe as-written and it’s always a huge hit. People who don’t normally like sweets or desserts come back for seconds. Really really great recipe. One time I put my bf in charge of the apple filling and he forgot to peel them; worked out totally fine still. Keep in mind for a regular pie plate, the graham cracker crust is relatively thick, so this dish when fully topped is not flush with the top of the plate edge, it’s maybe another 1/2 inch to inch higher once you’ve piled on the cheesecake, apples, and crumble.

Thank you so much Chelsea!
Made in a springform pan as all the ingredients would not fit in my pie pan. I took it to a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe, it was a big hit!
