Follow these easy steps to create the amazing Apple Crisp Cheesecake:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool.
4. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated and set aside.
5. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Sprinkle in ground cinnamon and mix until thoroughly combined.
6. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Evenly distribute half of the apple filling over the cheesecake layer. Add the remaining cheesecake batter on top, followed by the rest of the apple filling.
7. Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple layer.
8. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the dessert in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
9. Cool: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
10. Serve: When ready to serve, release the sides of the springform pan carefully. Slice the cheesecake and serve with optional caramel drizzle or whipped cream.
