Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water (for dissolving cornstarch)

Instructions

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Return to the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring until the mixture is melted and combined. Add the sliced apples and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the apples, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  5. Once the apple topping is cooled, spoon it carefully over the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. When ready to serve, carefully release the springform pan and slice into wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Ensure cream cheese is completely softened to avoid lumps in the filling.’, ‘Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.’, ‘Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the topping.’, ‘Press the crust firmly to ensure it stays intact when serving.’, ‘Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes to help whip the cream.’]
