Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 3 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cups caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and beat until well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracking.

Step 5

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour before transferring to the counter.

Step 6

While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the apple topping. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and water. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but not mushy. Let the topping cool.

Step 7

Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 8

Just before serving, arrange the cooled apple topping on top of the cheesecake. Drizzle with caramel sauce for the finishing touch.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
