For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the streusel topping. If the streusel topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the cheesecake with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. To ensure a smooth batter, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Serve chilled, and garnish with extra apple slices or a dusting of cinnamon for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepCraft the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake the Base: Bake the crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 7-9 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature. (20 minutes)
04
StepApple Infusion: In a separate bowl, mix the sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside for later use. (5 minutes)
05
StepCreamy Dream: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and white sugar until smooth. Gradually add milk, then beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, flour, and vanilla on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps of cream cheese are perfectly acceptable. (10 minutes)
06
StepLayered Delight: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Arrange the spiced apples evenly over the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the remaining batter. (5 minutes)
07
StepInitial Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
08
StepStreusel Magic: While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the streusel topping. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. (5 minutes)
09
StepFinal Bake: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cheesecake. Continue baking until the cheesecake is set, approximately 20 minutes more. (20 minutes)
10
StepCooling Period: Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for at least 4 hours to prevent cracking. Then, refrigerate for an additional 2-4 hours to allow the cheesecake to fully set before serving. (6 hours)
