Peanut Butter & Apple Oatmeal Cookie Cheesecake

October 25, 2012 by Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction 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!

    This looks gorgeous. I’m really REALLY into having apple and peanut butter with my morning brew at the moment. This just seems like the perfect way to kill off the rest of the jar 😉

    OMG. Peanut butter, oatmeal and apples in one no-bake cheesecake? How did you know this would be my favorite dessert EVER? (Because you’re a brilliant genius, that’s how) 🙂 this looks so delicious, Jessica. Light and refreshing, yet with wonderful fall flavors that make you feel all cozy inside.

    Actually, it was so chilly this morning I thought we skipped Fall and went smack dab into Winter >_<
    Also: I don't even like peanut butter but want to try this! Oatmeal Cookie crust? Apples? Cheesecake?

    COUNT ME IN! 😀

    Suuper good idea Jessica! I never really thought about desserts with peanut butter and apple! And I love how creamy the filling of this pie looks!

    It’s still hot here too – I’m in Arizona so by most peoples standards our “cold” Winter weather is Fall/Spring weather for most!

      I can never have too much peanut butter and I’m loving the apples, so I’ve been finding myself looking for as many different ways to use the combination as possible!

    It feels like summer in Ohio too, and I’m loving it! The leaves swirling in the air still make me think fall enough to keep eating apples and pumpkin like crazy. I love the pb with apples in this cheesecake though!
