Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper and wrap the base of the pan in aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon for the crumble. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Mix well, scraping down sides as needed.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition without overmixing.
  6. Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the crust, add apple pie filling, then pour the remaining filling on top.
  7. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the cheesecake.
Baking
  1. Place the springform pan in a deep roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until golden.
  2. Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for about an hour, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Glazing
  1. Whisk together confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl, adjusting for desired consistency. Drizzle over the cheesecake before serving.

Notes

To prevent cracks, avoid overbeating the filling and let cheesecake cool properly. Store leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 7 days.
