Ingredients

• 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
• 85 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 680 grams cream cheese, softened
• 400 grams low sodium sweetened condensed milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the low sodium sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.

Step 7

Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.

Step 8

Layer the thinly sliced apples over the batter, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and nutmeg.

Step 9

Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the apples, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 11

Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 13

Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
