Apple Crisp Cheesecake

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
• To make the crust, in a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until combined.
• Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and set aside.
• In a mixer, beat cream cheese on medium.
• Add sugar.
• Add sour cream and vanilla.
• Add eggs, one at a time.
• In a large bowl, add your apples, cinnamon, salt and sugar.
• Mix to coat.
• Lay apples on top of the crust, covering it evenly.
• Pour cheesecake filling over the top of apples. Set aside.

Topping

• Mix together your flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Sprinkle over the cheesecake.
• Pace your springform pan in a large roasting pan, and fill halfway up the sides with hot water. (Or use a cheesecake moat)
• Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes until the center is just set.
• Turn off the heat and crack the oven door open. Let it cook this way for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
