Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups sugar

For the Creamy Filling

  • 3 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Apple Layer

  • 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar

For the Streusel Topping

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups rolled oats
  • 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional) Use pecans or walnuts for added crunch.

For Serving

  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until a sandy mixture forms. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined. Pour this cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust.

Prepare the Apple Layer

  • In another bowl, mix the sliced apples with ground cinnamon and brown sugar until the apples are coated. Layer this apple mixture over the cheesecake filling evenly.

Create the Streusel Topping

  • In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, oats, and chopped nuts (if using) to create the streusel topping. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the apple layer.

Bake and Cool

  • Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Once baked, allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to set completely.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, and for an extra touch, warm caramel sauce can be drizzled just before serving. Ensure to refrigerate overnight for the best flavors.
