Equipment

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 2 ⅓ cups firm baking apples, peeled, cored, and chopped about ⅓ inch chunks
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Crust

  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, out of shell, room temperature 50 grams each

Topping

  • caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the apples

  • Place the peeled, cored, and chopped apples in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the top and toss to coat the apples.
  • Set them aside while you prepare the rest, allowing the juices to extract.

Make the crust

  • Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven to catch spillage.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • Grease just the bottom of a 9” springform pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients except butter until well combined.
  • Stir in the butter until combined.
  • Remove half of the mixture and pat onto the bottom of the greased springform pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. If bubbling or has holes, lightly press down with a spoon after baking.
  • Let the crust cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack while preparing the filling.

Make the filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until well combined.
  • Beat in the vanilla, salt, and sour cream on low until combined, then add eggs one at a time, mixing just until well combined.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  • Using a slotted spoon, evenly spoon the apples over the filling, leaving juice in the bowl.
  • Top the apples with the remaining topping and pat down very lightly.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. It will jiggle slightly when removed from the oven.
  • Cool on a cooling rack for 2 hours and then refrigerate for at least 8 before slicing.
  • Top with caramel sauce if desired.
