The new Cherry Crisp Cheesecake is born. It is a graham based crust with vanilla cheesecake batter touched with almond extract & dollops of cherries then topped with a crunchy buttery oat streusel. Super Yum!

As a kid my Mom would make a cherry crisp with this same streusel recipe & have to hide it very well from moi. Otherwise I would eat the whole thing by myself. This cheesecake rendition is in her honor and helps me re live some awesome childhood memories.
