Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the streusel by combining rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until crumbly and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Peel and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Toss with brown sugar and cinnamon, then refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  3. Make the graham cracker crust by mixing crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  4. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and eggs one at a time.
  5. Assemble the cheesecake by pouring the filling over the cooled crust and layering the apple mixture on top. Sprinkle streusel over the apples.
  6. Bake in a water bath at 325°F for 60-65 minutes until the edges are set.
  7. Cool in the oven for about 1 hour, then refrigerate overnight to set.
  8. Serve with a drizzle of salted caramel and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Allow cheesecake to chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
