Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs, using a food processor or a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. For the best results, chill the crust in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats until the mixture forms crumbly clumps. Set aside for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Over medium heat, sauté sliced tart apples in a skillet with a touch of brown sugar and ground cinnamon until tender and syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Set the apples aside to cool.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare for baking by placing a sheet pan on the bottom rack.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and spices until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Biscoff crust, smoothing it out. Arrange the cooked apples on top, then sprinkle the crumble topping evenly across.
  7. Bake for 65-70 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains slightly jiggly.
  8. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
