Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

        - Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

          Prepare the Apple Filling:

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

              Make the Cheesecake Batter:

                - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

                  - Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla, mixing well.

                    - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated.

                      Assemble the Cheesecake:

                        - Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Spread half of the apple filling on top.

                          - Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the apple layer, then top with the remaining apple filling.

                            Prepare the Crumble Topping:

                              - In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

                                - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

                                  Bake:

                                    - Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set but still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.

                                      Chill and Serve:

                                        - Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set fully.

                                          - Once chilled, remove the springform pan's sides. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top before slicing and serving.
