Cream cheese, cinnamon apples, and oat crumble blend for a flavorful treat with decadent texture.

# Ingredient List:

→ Crust

01 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

→ Apple Layer

04 - 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

→ Cheesecake Filling

09 - 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 - 1 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 3 large eggs

→ Crumble Topping

13 - 3/4 cup all purpose flour
14 - 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
15 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
16 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
17 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Press mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan, forming an even layer. Set aside.
02 - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
03 - Using a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated after each addition.
04 - Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Layer half of the cooled apple filling evenly over the cheesecake base. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake mixture and apple filling to create alternating layers.
05 - Combine all purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in cold, cubed butter using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Evenly distribute crumble topping over the assembled cheesecake.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly wobbly. Let cool completely on a wire rack without unmolding. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
