Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

          Make the Apple Filling:

            - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

              - Cook for about 5 minutes until apples are slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

                Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

                  - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth.

                    - Add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until creamy and well combined.

                      Assemble the Cheesecake:

                        - Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.

                          - Evenly distribute the cooked apples over the cheesecake layer.

                            - Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top, smoothing it out with a spatula.

                              Prepare the Crumble Topping:

                                - In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, and cinnamon together with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.

                                  - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.

                                    Bake the Cheesecake:

                                      - Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.

                                        - Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an additional hour with the door slightly ajar.

                                          Cool and Serve:

                                            - Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

                                              - Before serving, garnish with whipped cream or caramel sauce if desired.
