Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with a sprinkle of cinnamon and set them aside to marinate.
  3. In another bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a bit of sugar until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Making the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add in the sugar, sour cream, and eggs, mixing until you achieve a creamy consistency.
  3. Finish by adding the vanilla extract.
Combining and Baking
  1. Fold in the marinated apples and then pour this filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a touch of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture generously on top of the cheesecake filling.
  3. Carefully place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature.
  2. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.
  3. Slice into your delicious Apple Crumble Cheesecake and share it with your family and friends!

Notes

Allow the cheesecake to cool down completely before refrigerating for the best texture. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for two months.
