Ingredients

Dough

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or another 1/2 cup of all-purpose)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Apple Filling

  • 3 small apples, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • Place the dough ingredients in a food processor, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Press the dough evenly into a 13×9 inch baking pan with edges, and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • In the meantime, in a larger bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup white sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating around 20 seconds after each addition. Next add the vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the warm crust.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the apple filling ingredients. Spoon evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
  • In the same bowl, mix together the oats, butter and flours. Add in the butter, and mix with a fork until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle over the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup brown sugar over the oat mixture, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.
