Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Caramel sauce (optional)
  • Chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it tightly.
  3. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  8. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and fold it in until evenly distributed.
  9. Once the crust has chilled for about 30 minutes, remove it from the refrigerator.
  10. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  11. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  12. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water.
  13. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  14. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  15. After the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the springform pan, running a knife around the edge if needed.
  16. Spread the cooled apple topping evenly over the cheesecake.
  17. If desired, drizzle caramel sauce over the top and add a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cheesecake to set overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to customize the apple topping with your favorite spices or additional fruits.
