Apple Cheesecake recipe
Never had apples in your cheesecake? Now is the time to try it out - apples lend a tart quality that perfectly balances out the richness of cream cheese.
Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
4 cups sliced apples (from 2 to 3 apples)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F.
2) Combine graham crackers, 3 tablespoons sugar, butter, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl; mix well. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 10 minutes.
3) In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar together until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add vanilla and beat; pour mixture into prepared pie crust.
4) In a large bowl, combine remaining 1/3 cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Add apples and toss to coat. Spoon apples over cheesecake filling; sprinkle pecans evenly over. Bake one hour, remove, and cool before serving.

Made this many times and everyone loves it. It is a refreshing way to serve cheesecake.
AMAZING smelling in the oven! Can't wait till it cools to taste!
Excellent and easy to make! Made it for thanksgiving, everyone loved it!
So easy to make. Love it as much as the pumpkin cheesecake.
SO GOOD! I didn't have quite enough cream cheese so I put about 1/2 cup of sour cream in. Actually, my daughter did - she's 9 and was able to make this recipe with little guidance. We used Arkansas Black apples. Even my mother in law, who is a trained European pastry chef, raved about it.
