Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • 9-inch Pie Dish

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheet graham crackers)
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Streusel Topping

  • 0.33 cups whole rolled oats
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar packed light or dark
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed

Apple Layer

  • 2 cups apples (peeled, thinly sliced, and chopped)
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar packed light or dark
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2-3 Tablespoons salted caramel (plus more for topping)

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Have your ingredients ready and salted caramel prepared.
  • Make the crust: If you’re starting out with full graham crackers, use a food processor or blender to grind them into fine crumbs. Stir the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl, and then stir in the melted butter. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish and pat down into a compact crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Continue with the next steps as the crust bakes.
  • Make the streusel topping: Whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Chill the streusel.
  • Prepare the apples: Mix the sliced & chopped apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together until the mixture is smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and then beat until fully combined. Add the egg and beat just until combined.
  • Assemble the layers: Spread cheesecake filling into the crust. Spoon apples in an even layer on top. Drizzle salted caramel over the apples. Sprinkle streusel evenly on top.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake the pie for 45 minutes, until the center is almost set.
  • Cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • To serve, drizzle with more salted caramel.
  • Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 5 days.

Notes

The topping softens the longer it sits. The pie continues to set as it cools and chills.
