Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Apple Filling:

3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

For the Crisp Topping:

½ cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

      Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

        Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, blend in the sour cream until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.

          Assemble the Layers: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, then evenly distribute the apple filling over this layer. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top of the apple layer.

            Add the Crisp Topping: In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping generously over the cheesecake.

              Bake the Cheesecake: Carefully place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about an hour.

                Chill the Cheesecake: After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

                  Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the springform pan. Slice and serve your delicious apple crisp cheesecake topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
