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.

APPLE STRUDEL CHEESECAKE



Apple Strudel Cheesecake image

Our cheesecake-loving children inspired this recipe I adapted from several others. It was a hit with them because the apples make it less rich and heavy. My family eats it anytime-for breakfast or as a late-night snack-and I serve it for dessert or when company comes for coffee. -Janice White, Encampment, Wyoming

BIG APPLE CRUMB CHEESECAKE



Big Apple Crumb Cheesecake image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
15 graham crackers (or 2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs)
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch kosher salt
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Store-bought caramel sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the graham crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until fine, then add the brown sugar and salt and pulse until well combined. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared springform pan in an even layer. Bake the crust until firm, about 10 minutes, then let cool.
  • For the apple crumb topping: Stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, using your hands to form some clumps. Fold in the diced apple.
  • For the cheesecake filling: Stir together the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl. Pulse together the cream cheese and sour cream in a food processor until smooth. With the processor running, add the sugar mixture 1/2 cup at a time until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, pulsing until well combined, then add the vanilla, scraping down the sides of the processor and giving it another pulse to make sure everything is incorporated. Pour the cheesecake filling over the top of the graham cracker crust.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping over the filling. Bake the cheesecake until it is mostly set but still has a bit of a jiggle in the center, 60 to 70 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the oven door slightly open for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, about another hour, then refrigerate for 1 hour more. Run a paring knife around the outside before unmolding and slicing. Serve drizzled with the caramel sauce.
