Apple Crumble Cheesecake

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until well combined.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until the mixture is smooth.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
   • In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

1. Layering:
   • Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Top with half of the sliced apples. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake batter and apple slices.
2. Make the Crumble Topping:
   • In a small bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and chilled diced butter. Use your fingers to rub the mixture together until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the Crumble Topping:
   • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple layer.

1. Bake:
   • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
2. Cool and Chill:
   • Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen it. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

1. Serve:
   • Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Optionally, you can drizzle caramel sauce over each slice for extra sweetness.

Enjoy your delicious apple crumble cheesecake! It’s a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake, spiced apples, and crunchy crumble topping.
