Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, diced
  • 1.5 cups graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for crust)

Method
 

  1. Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and one tablespoon of sugar in a bowl until the mixture reaches a wet sand consistency.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined square baking pan and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Fold a pinch of cinnamon into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  6. Sauté diced apples in a pan with cinnamon and a splash of water until tender, then cool completely.
  7. Spoon the cooled apple topping over the cheesecake layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before slicing into 16 bites.

Notes

Ensure the apple topping is fully cooled before adding to the cheesecake layer to prevent the cream cheese from softening or melting. For best results, store in the refrigerator and serve chilled. These can be made ahead of time for easier planning.
