Ingredients

Crust

  • cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

Filling

  • 32 ounces cream cheese softened (4 blocks - 8 oz each)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 apples peeled and diced - large (or 4 small apples)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons caramel topping
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Whipped cream for topping, optional

More caramel topping for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan.

Crust

  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl.
  • Press the mixture into the springform pan and up sides, I like to use a measuring up to help me press the crumbs up the side.

Filling

  • Beat the cream cheese and both types of sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or using an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, sour cream, flour, and vanilla, mixing until just combined.
  • Transfer the filling mixture to the springform pan and smooth into an even layer.
  • Bake for 60 minutes until the center is set and just barely jiggly.
  • Remove. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight before adding the topping.

Topping

  • Combine the apples, brown sugar, and caramel topping in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the apples soften and the sauce thickens.
  • Pour the topping on top of the chilled cheesecake.
  • Add whipped cream and more caramel.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • You can use a 9-inch springform pan as well.
  • You can use canned apple pie filling to save time.
  • You can use regular or cinnamon graham crackers for the crust or even gingersnaps.
