Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cubed butter, and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in pumpkin puree, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until just combined.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the filling.
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  6. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  8. Before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the springform pan.

Notes

Serve chilled and garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.
