Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, or more as needed
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Streusel

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts, or to taste (Optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter, cut into small pieces

Filling

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until crumbly, adding more crumbs if mixture is too wet. Press crust into the prepared baking pan.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4
Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar using an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract on low speed until mixture is blended. Pour filling over warm crust.

Step 5
Stir apples, 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice together in a separate bowl; spoon evenly over filling.

Step 6
Mix brown sugar, flour, walnuts, and cinnamon for streusel together in a bowl. Mix or cut butter into walnut mixture using your fingers or a knife until crumbly. Sprinkle over apple layer.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese filling is set, 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cut into small squares and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook’s Note:

You can substitute margarine for butter, if desired.
