Apple Crisp Cheesecake

We all know an apple a day keeps the doctor away but what does more than one bring?  This delicious APPLE CRISP CHEESECAKE!

Apples, apples and more apples are what we have currently in tubs and boxes in our garage.  Our one tree has mass produced this year and we have many apple recipes that we are trying this fall.  I’m sure we have all had apple crisp and cheesecake separately, right?  Now you can combine the two into this spectacular dessert – Apple Crisp Cheesecake.  Look at that creamy cheesecake layer with a section of apples and topped with oatmeal-pecan streusel.  Do you want one slice or two?

While this dessert is a bit on the putzy side, you’ll be so pleased with the end results.  Just make a day ahead so this show stopper is ready for any occasion.  Also, spring form pans come in many sizes and I would find a 10″ pan to use as stated.  I think a 9″ would be too small and may not bake properly.  As far as what kind of apples, well ours were Regent which is pretty native to our area (developed at the University of Minnesota).  I would use any kind of apple that is recommended for baking (like what you would use for pies)  I liked that our apples kept their shape and didn’t bake down into mush.

If you want to make this even more special, drizzle some caramel sauce and maybe some whipped cream!  Now that would be even more spectacular!

Another way I have used up some apples is by making these hand pies.
