**Ingredients:**

#### For the Crust:

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

– ¼ cup granulated sugar

– ½ teaspoon salt

#### For the Cheesecake Filling:

– 16 oz cream cheese, softened

– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

– 3 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– ½ cup heavy cream

– ½ cup butterscotch chips, melted

#### For the Buttery Crumble Topping:

– ¾ cup all-purpose flour

– ½ cup light brown sugar, packed

– ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

– ¼ teaspoon salt

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Crust:**

– Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

– In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**

– In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

– Slowly mix in the heavy cream until fully incorporated, then add the melted butterscotch chips, mixing until smooth.

– Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

3. **Prepare the Buttery Crumble Topping:**

– In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

– Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.

4. **Bake the Cheesecake:**

– Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the crumble topping is golden brown.

– Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

– Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
