Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups digestive biscuits, crushed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup sour cream

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups fresh apples, peeled and diced (preferably Granny Smith)

For the Apple Crisp Topping:

¾ cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

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

      - In a bowl, mix the crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

          Make the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

              - Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

                - Gently fold in the diced apples.

                  Combine and Bake:

                    - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

                      - Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour. This helps to prevent cracking.

                        Prepare the Apple Crisp Topping:

                          - In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt.

                            - Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.

                              Add the Topping and Final Bake:

                                - Once the cheesecake is cooled, sprinkle the apple crisp topping evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

                                  - Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

                                    Cool and Serve:

                                      - Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

                                        - Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve, optionally garnishing with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
