Start by preparing the crust. Place the low-fat graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the unsweetened applesauce. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a glass or a spoon to press it down firmly. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese and low-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for a couple of minutes to bloom. Then, gently heat over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Slowly add the dissolved gelatin to the cream cheese mixture while continuously beating at a low speed to ensure even distribution.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until it is fully set.
Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan, and then carefully remove the outer ring of the springform pan.
Garnish with fresh berries on top, if desired, and serve chilled.
