Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (for topping)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar sized dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until crumbly. The texture should resemble wet sand.

Step 5

Layer the prepared apples evenly in the greased baking dish. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the apples as evenly as possible. It’s okay if it doesn’t cover perfectly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat topping over the cream cheese layer, ensuring an even layer that covers the entire surface.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
