INSTRUCTIONS

BISCOFF CRUST
1 Crush cookies: Use a food processor or put the biscoff cookies in a ziploc bag. Use a rolling
pin to whack the cookies thoroughly until they're very finely crushed. Transfer the cookie
crumbs to a medium bowl.

2 Add butter: Add melted butter to the crumbs and stir them together until it resembles wet
sand.

3 Press into pan: Line the bottom of a 9" springform pan with parchment paper. Dump the
crumb mixture into the pan and spread it around the bottom and sides of the pan. Use the
bottom of a flat-bottomed cup to press the mixture firmly into a flat, even layer on the bottom
and up the sides of the pan. Let the pan chill in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the
filling.

CRUMBLE TOPPING
4 Stir together: In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats
until it forms a thick crumbly paste. Set aside to cool and firm up.

APPLE TOPPING
5 Cook apples: In a small pot, stir together sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and
cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until the apples are fork-tender and any
juices released have thickened into a jammy consistency. Set the apples aside to cool.

CHEESECAKE
6 Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F.

7 Mix cheesecake batter: In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, sugar, greek
yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Use a spatula to smush the mixture
around around until it's smooth and creamy.

8 Mix in eggs: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition, until completely
combined.

9 Fill pan: Pour the cheesecake batter into your pan on top of the chilled crust.

10 Add toppings: Add the cooked apple slices in an even layer on top of the cheesecake batter,
gently laying them down so that they don't sink. Use your hands to crumble up the crumble
topping and sprinkle it on top of the apples.

11 Bake: Place an empty sheet pan on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any liquid that might
leak out during baking. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until the cheesecake is still slightly jiggly.

12 Chill: Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before chilling it in the fridge
to set for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. Once chilled, run an offset spatula around
the edges of the pan and remove the cheesecake from the pan. Slice and serve chilled or at
