Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.

2. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and salt. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool.

3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream. Mix until just combined.

4. Toss diced apples with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit while assembling.

5. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Spoon apple mixture evenly over the batter.

6. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed cold butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of apples.

7. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and let sit with door ajar for 1 hour.

8. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

9. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving, if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter.

Make the cheesecake a day ahead for best flavor and texture.

Wrap tightly if freezing, and thaw in fridge before serving.
