Preparation

Step 1

Makes 1 (8”x8”) pan

For the NY Cheesecake Filling:
1. For filling: Place cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon (you can also use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment). Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition.
2. Add sour cream, flour and milk and stir together until no lumps remain. Fold in vanilla extract and lemon zest until fully incorporated.


1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.

2. Pour wafer crumbs and butter into a mixing bowl and mix together until all crumbs are well coated. Press mixture into the bottom of a parchment lined 8”x 8” baking dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Make cheesecake filling and pour over crust, smoothing the surface.

4. Place all of the apple pie ingredients into a mixing bowl and toss together until completely mixed. Pour mixture over the cheesecake filling and smooth the surface.

5. Place the sugar, oats and flour into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Add the butter and cut into the mixture using a pastry knife until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apple pie mixture.
