Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4 medium)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 8 minutes, then cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
  3. Wrap pan in foil, place in a roasting pan, and fill with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, crack door, and leave cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove and chill at least 4 hours.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, 6 to 8 minutes until tender. Mix cornstarch with water; stir into apples and cook 1 minute until thickened. Cool completely.
  5. Spoon cooled apple topping over the chilled cheesecake. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce, slice, and serve.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, refrigerate overnight before cutting. The apple topping can be made a day ahead; warm slightly before adding to the cake.
