Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather ingredients and prepare your springform pan.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and pumpkin puree, mixing to achieve a lump-free consistency.
  4. Incorporate eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly. Mix in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  5. Pour the pumpkin filling onto the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  6. Prepare the streusel by mixing all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and softened butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the pumpkin cheesecake filling evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly, signaling it's set but creamy.
  9. Cool in the oven with the door ajar for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
