Crumble-Topped Cheesecake

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
    • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  3. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
    • Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about 1 hour.
    • Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Serve:
    • Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before serving.
