This keto apple crumble cheesecake recipe is one of my absolute favorite fall bakes, with its layers of buttery cinnamon spiced crust, creamy spiced cheesecake, and apple pie filling. The perfect post-apple picking recipe! The beginning of fall always puts me in such a baking mood and I’m so excited about all the pumpkin and spiced apple recipes to come.

My goal with every recipe and product I create (check out all my recipe guides here and my low-carb baking mix & pre-made frosting products available here) is to be made with the healthiest possible ingredients with the lowest amount of sugar, but while still tasting almost identical (and in some cases even better) than the traditional versions. I’ve been baking this way for over 10 years, and I’m really only just getting started. I plan to continue sharing everything I learn with you along the way!
For those who don’t know, I have my own line of keto-friendly cake mix, brownie mix, and three pre-made, 0g net carb frostings: vanilla buttercream, chocolate buttercream, and cream cheese frosting. While I do love baking from scratch as you can see in my blog recipes, these products make things so much more convenient if you are ever in a pinch or just don’t feel like baking from scratch. Check them out at shopfitbake.com!
And if you’re looking for a complete guide to keto baking, I highly recommend The Keto Dessert eBook 2.0. This is my most popular resource containing over 120+ and counting of my absolute best low carb baking recipes, all my tips and tricks, a one-page printable ingredient shopping list, photos and nutritional information for every recipe, and so much more. It really just sets you up for success going into the holiday baking season.
Now, let’s make this keto apple crumble cheesecake! The crust is a simple and delicious combination of almond flour, cinnamon, and butter, while the cheesecake compliments the buttery crust with its creamy sweetness. Topped off with a perfectly spiced apple pie mixture that comes together quickly after a few minutes on the stove, the layers of this dessert just hit every. single. time.
For sweetener, I used a blend of erythritol and monk fruit, but feel free to use your preferred sweetener. For the crust/crumble and apple pie filling, I’d recommend either a granulated sweetener, a brown or golden sweetener, or even coconut sugar (if you don’t need them to be completely sugar free). For the cheesecake, I recommend using a powdered or confectioners style sweetener. Again, I used a powdered erythritol monk fruit blend, but you could use your preferred option – just be sure it’s either finely ground enough or dissolvable so that it doesn’t add a grainy texture to your cheesecake (most unrefined or sugar free sweeteners don’t dissolve the same way that regular white sugar does).
