TIPS AND FAQS
It is important to make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start to make your cheesecake filling layer. Using cold ingredients will result in a lumpy cheesecake layer.
If you want to save a little time, you can purchase already crushed graham crackers at the grocery store. You will find them in a box near the ready made pie crusts.
I used canned apple pie filling for this recipe, but if you want to make homemade that will work just as well.
Be sure to tightly cover with your springform pan before placing in the Instant Pot. You don’t want moisture from the Instant Pot to get into your cheesecake.
HOW DO YOU STORE CHEESECAKE?
You can store your Apple Pie Cheesecake in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to keep your cheesecake covered while you store it. Or you can store in the freezer covered for up to 3 months. If frozen just thaw in your refrigerator overnight or until the center is completely thawed.

The directions say to add all the crumble top ingredients together. You’ve included the apple pie filling as a part of the crumble top. Turns out it wasn’t supposed to be added. Crumble top ruined.
Oh no! I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize that the directions weren’t clear. I will fix it to make sure that it more clear. Thank you for letting me know.
Very easy to make! Would make again
I made 2 today for tomorrow’s thanksgiving dinner. Shouldn’t the crumble be cooked 350 for 5-7 or until it starts to turn brown, since it has raw flour?
For the cheese cakes they look great..
I heated my flour in the microwave to kill the bacteria so I didn’t toast my crumble. However, if you prefer you can also pop it into the oven at 350 to crisp up the crumble.
