This cheesecake is heavenly! The crust is perfectly crispy and the filling is smooth and creamy. The maple flavor is subtle, but it's there. I love that it's not too sweet. This is the best cheesecake I've ever had!

This cheesecake was a disappointment. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was too dense. The maple flavor was also very artificial. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've never been a big fan of cheesecake, but this maple nut version has definitely changed my mind. The combination of flavors is spot-on and the texture is amazing. The nuts add a nice touch of crunch and the maple syrup gives it a subtle sweetness.
