3. Bake the Cheesecake:

   • Pour the filling into the prepared crust in the springform pan.
   • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 1 hour and 35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

4. Prepare the Walnut Topping:

   • In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of butter and brown sugar until crumbly.
   • Blend in the chopped walnuts.

5. Add the Topping:
