Peanut Butter & Apple Oatmeal Cookie Cheesecake

by 55 Comments


While the calender tells me it’s fall, the weather sure doesn’t feel like it. That doesn’t stop me from wanting fall food though! So, in case you are in the same weird weather I am, here is an easy fall dessert that has the flavors of oatmeal cookies, apples, and peanut butter! The best part? It requires less than 10 minutes of baking! Plus, the cheesecake isn’t dense and heavy. It can be enjoyed after dinner (or anytime really!) without feeling like you’re going overboard on your dessert!

This cheesecake is a combination of the oatmeal cookie crust from this Chocolate Monster Cookie Pie and the peanut butter cheesecake filling from this Snickers Cheesecake Pie. The two blend perfectly with the tart apples. The chopped peanuts on top lend just a touch of saltiness that ties together the sweet, nutty, and tart flavors into one addictive cheesecake.

Love the peanut butter and apple combination? Try these!
