Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap a springform pan with foil and prepare a water bath.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form crust.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust. Place the pan in a larger dish and pour hot water halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- In a saucepan, cook diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat until thickened and tender. Let cool.
- Top the chilled cheesecake with the apple mixture before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to prevent lumps.
- Let the cheesecake chill overnight for best results.
- For added flair, garnish with caramel drizzle or whipped cream.
