Instructions:

Crust Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a firm base. Set aside.

Filling Mixture:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.

Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.

Crumble Topping:

In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cubed butter. Use your fingers to blend the ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cheesecake filling.

Baking:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Turn off the oven, slightly open the oven door, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Cooling and Serving:

Remove the cheesecake from the oven, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Serve chilled, slicing into wedges.
