- Combine cream cheese and sugar in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add yogurt and vanilla extract and pulse a few times
- Add eggs, one at a time, making sure they’re well incorporated
- Pour into a bowl and fold in cooked apples.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes
- In the meantime, prepare crumble topping. Combine flour and sugar in a small bowl. Mix in butter using a fork or your fingers
- Remove cheesecake from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400F. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly on the cheesecake and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes
