Instructions
Prepare the Biscoff Crust
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

Prepare the Apple Topping
- In a bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling

- Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Assemble and Bake
- Spread the apple mixture over the cooled biscoff crust, followed by the cheesecake filling.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cheesecake.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Let it cool in the oven with the door ajar.
Chill
