  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla extract for best results.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies until finely ground and combine with melted unsalted butter. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust.
  2. Combine melted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats in a mixing bowl until crumbly. Set aside for later.
  3. Cook sliced tart apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat until tender. Stir in cornstarch and let cool.
  4. Blend softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and ground spices until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust, layer the cooked apple topping, and sprinkle the crumble topping. Bake for 65-70 minutes.
  6. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
