It' the holiday of cheesecake, flowers, and all the dairy goodness. I decided to combine a cheesecake with the dessert that so many people make every week for Shabbos. This apple crumble cheesecake is the ULTIMATE Shavuos dessert! I topped mine with ice cream and a little drizzle of caramel sauce. You know I'm extra like that.
I am honored to have this post sponsored by Kemach, thank you!

How to make the apple crumble cheesecake
Start by making the apple pie filling. Melt the butter in a pot and add the apples. Toss them to coat and add the remaining ingredients. Mix everything together and cover the pot. Cook, stirring often for 10 minutes on low heat. Remove the apple mixture from the stove and set aside.
Mix the crumble ingredients together with a fork, until crumbs form. Set aside.
Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and flour. Add the egg and mix well.
Assemble the cheesecake. Fill the graham cracker crust with the cream cheese filling, then top with the apple pie mixture. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes. Let the cheesecake cool or 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
You can serve the cheesecake as is, it's delicious. If you want to go over the top like me, serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Storing
Store in the fridge. Best if eaten within 2 days.
