Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 7h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
¾ cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While crust cools, mix apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon until coated and set aside.
  • Beat cream cheese and white sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Slowly add milk. Best in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract on low speed or by hand until smooth. Do not overmix; you may have some small bits of cream cheese in the mix, but those will melt as the cheesecake cooks.
  • Pour 1/2 of the filling over the prepared crust. Arrange coated apples over the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with remaining filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • While cheesecake is baking, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Sprinkle quickly over the cheesecake. Continue baking until set, about 20 minutes more.
  • Turn the oven off but do not open the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for at least 4 hours; this helps prevent cracking. Refrigerate to allow cake to fully set before serving, 2 to 4 hours more.

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Slice the apples evenly: This ensures that they cook evenly and consistently.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat: This helps to prevent them from burning or sticking to the pan.
  • Stir the apples occasionally: This helps to ensure that they cook evenly and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the spices and sugar: Once the apples are tender, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Simmer the apples: Continue to simmer the apples for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Let the topping cool slightly: Before using the topping on your cheesecake, let it cool slightly so that it thickens further.
