Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced
  • 2 cups graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar; press firmly into a greased nine-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In a large mixer, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth.
  5. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time on low speed.
  6. Pre-cook the apple slices in a pan with cinnamon until softened, then fold them into the cheesecake batter.
  7. Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  8. 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.
