Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a 8″x8″ glass pan with foil, be sure to cover the sides, you are going to use this to lift the cheesecake out of the pan.
Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are moistened. Press into prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in heavy cream, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract and eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy. Pour cheese cake mixture into crust.
In a small bowl combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and ground ginger. Mix well. Scatter on top of the cheesecake.
In another bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add in butter and use a fork, a pastry cutter or clean hands to cut the butter into the mixture until it is crumbly. Sprinkle that mixture over the top of apples. Bake in preheated oven for 50 - 60 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.
Allow to cool on a cooling rack for about 40 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled through, about 2 hours. Cut into 12 pieces and serve.

Don't skip the chilling time. It will really help the cheesecake set.
