Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar; press firmly into a greased nine-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until golden brown.
- In a large mixer, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth.
- Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time on low speed.
- Pre-cook the apple slices in a pan with cinnamon until softened, then fold them into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 75 minutes, then chill thoroughly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Pre-cooking the apples is essential to draw out excess moisture and prevent a soggy crust. Serve chilled for the best texture.
