Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups Washington State Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the sliced Washington State Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and caramelized.

Step 9

Arrange the caramelized apples over the cheesecake batter in an even layer.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the pie and garnish with additional apple slices or crushed graham crackers, if desired.
