• 1 - Prepare the apricots:
  Wash, pit, and halve the apricots. Set aside for topping the cheesecake.
• 2 - Make the hazelnut crumble:
  In a bowl, combine chopped hazelnuts, brown sugar, oats, and cold cubed butter. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• 3 - Preheat oven and prepare pan:
  Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.
• 4 - Make cheesecake batter:
  In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in flour gently.
• 5 - Assemble cheesecake:
  Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the pan. Arrange apricot halves on top, then cover with the remaining batter. Smooth the surface.
• 6 - Add crumble topping and bake:
  Sprinkle the hazelnut crumble evenly over the cheesecake. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes until the center is almost set but still slightly wobbly.
