- 2 g ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Prepare a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with non-stick spray and optional parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon; blend with melted butter until moistened. Press into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown; cool.
- In a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese for 5-6 minutes until smooth. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and flour; mix well.
- Add vanilla extract and heavy cream; mix until just blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
- Pour filling over the crust and tap to remove air bubbles. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 95°C (200°F) and bake for another 40 minutes.
- Prepare the apple layer by sautéing apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract until tender.
- For the crumble, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, oats, and melted butter until resembling damp sand.
- Distribute cooked apples on the cheesecake, then top with crumble. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool with the door cracked for 15-20 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce.
