- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Make the crust. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the apples. In a bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake filling. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Add vanilla, sour cream, flour, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Spoon half of the apples over the top. Add the remaining cheesecake mixture, then finish with the remaining apples.
- Make the crisp topping. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and pecans. Mix until crumbly, then sprinkle evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve chilled or slightly softened, drizzled with warm caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream if desired.
