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!

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!
Yeah, that’s about the way it has been here! Except last night we had a strong storm so there are no more leaves swirling in the air!
Oh, my. I never thought I’d hear all those words in a title. But I’m so glad I did! YUM! We finally have fall weather here. But it kinda skipped to cold!

i will have to try this one for sure

This looks delicious! One of my son and I’s favorite snacks is apple slices with peanut butter, and we love cheesecake, so I am definitely going to have to try making this! 🙂
WHat a fun idea to put oatmeal in the crust! I love that this is so easy to whip up. Peanut butter and apples are always a fun way to go:-)
Any idea roughly how many calories are in a serving of this cheesecake?
thanks!
