Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix in spices and salt.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Mix in softened butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over the cheesecake filling.

  7. Cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes with the door slightly ajar, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
