Ingredients<\/u>:<\/b>
\nCrust:<\/b>
\n2 cups finely crushed prepared oatmeal cookies
\n1\/2 cup old-fashioned oats
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n6 tbsp. butter melted<\/p>\n
Cheesecake:<\/b>
\n24 oz. (3 – 8 oz packages) cream cheese softened
\n1 cup sugar
\n3 eggs at room temperature
\n2 tsp. vanilla
\n1 cup canned pumpkin puree
\n1 tsp. cinnamon
\n1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
\n2 large apples peeled, cored, sliced about 1\/4-inch thick
\n1 tsp. cinnamon
\n2 tbsp. sugar<\/p>\n
Streusel Topping:<\/b>
\n1 cup old-fashioned oats
\n3\/4 cup all-purpose flour
\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar
\n1 tsp. cinnamon
\n1\/2 cup cold butter
\nvanilla ice cream
\n1 jar caramel ice cream sauce<\/p>\n
Directions<\/u>:<\/b>
\nCrust:<\/b>
\nIn a medium bowl, combine oatmeal cookie crumbs, oats, sugar, and butter.
\nPress into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.<\/p>\n
Cheesecake:<\/b>
\nIn a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy.
\nAdd sugar, beating until combined.
\nAdd eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
\nAdd vanilla.
\nAdd pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
\nPour cheesecake batter over crust.
\nIn a medium bowl, combine sliced apples, cinnamon, and sugar, tossing to coat.
\nCarefully layer the apple slices over the cheesecake batter, working from the edges to the center – it will keep the batter from raising higher at the edges. Work from the edges toward the middle.<\/p>\n
Streusel:<\/b>
\nIn a small bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
\nCut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
\nSprinkle it evenly over the apple layer, working from the edges to the center. This cheesecake will be up to the very top of the pan, and that’s okay! It’s tall, but it won’t spill over!
\nBake at 325 degrees for 70-80 minutes (it will take a while – it’s very thick), or until the center appears set when jiggled.
\nRemove to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill thoroughly, if desired.
\nRun a knife along the edges, and release springform pan. Transfer to a serving platter to cut and serve.
\nTop with ice cream and caramel sauce!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
