Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In another bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let sit while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time.
Assembly
  1. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust, layer apple mixture on top, and then add remaining cheesecake batter.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and softened butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the cheesecake.
Baking
  1. Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside for another hour to cool gradually.
  3. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Remove sides of the springform pan and enjoy your Apple Crisp Cheesecake!
