Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

CRUST
1 c graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c finely choped pecans
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
FILLING
3 pkg (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 c sour cream
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
TOPPING
1/3 c granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 c thinly sliced peeled apples
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 Tbsp butter, optional (*see personal note)

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE CRUST: Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, mix the crumbs, pecans, sugar, cinnamon and butter; press onto the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes (Bake at 300°F. if using a dark nonstick springform pan). Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • 2. FOR THE FILLING: In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Add the eggs, mixing on low speed just until blended. Add the sour cream and flour until blended. Pour over the crust.
  • 3. FOR THE TOPPING: In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and pecans together; toss with the apples. Spoon or layer the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer. Bake at 325°F. for 1 hour & 10 minutes or until the center is almost set (if using a dark nonstick pan, bake at 300°F.). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Run a knife or metal spatula around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake; cool completely before removing the rim of pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Crust: Choose a pre-made graham cracker crust or make your own from scratch. Press the crust firmly into a 9-inch springform pan and chill it while you prepare the filling.
  • Soften Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture. Cold cream cheese can cause lumps.
  • Cream Together: Use an electric mixer to cream the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a creamy and smooth cheesecake.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the cheesecake from curdling or becoming too dense.
  • Fold in Apples and Cinnamon: Gently fold in the chopped apples and ground cinnamon until well combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent the apples from breaking down and releasing too much moisture.
  • Bake in a Water Bath: Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water. This water bath helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Cool Gradually: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for an hour. This gradual cooling prevents the cheesecake from sinking or cracking.
  • Chill Overnight: Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight or for at least 6 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
