Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
To make the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
For the filling, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Pour over the cooled crust.
To prepare the apple layer, toss diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Spoon evenly over the cheesecake batter.
For the crumble topping, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle over the apple layer.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Tent with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute apples with pears or peaches for a seasonal variation.

Chopped pecans or walnuts can be added to the crumble for extra crunch.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.

No water bath is needed for this cheesecake.

Tent with foil during baking if the crumble starts to brown too quickly.
