Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9x13-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.
