Ingredients
To create this delightful dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
- For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- For the apple topping:
- 4 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great options)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Apple Pie Cheesecake:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing well. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, blend in the sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour to cool gradually.
- While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the apple topping. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, top it with the apple mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures with each slice of this Apple Pie Cheesecake! Its combination of creamy cheesecake and spiced apples will have your taste buds dancing with delight.
