Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup apple cider concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large apples, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the sour cream, apple cider concentrate, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  3. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool gradually.
  4. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple cider. Cook until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  6. Spoon the spiced apple topping over the chilled cheesecake. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence!

Notes

[‘Ensure cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother filling.’, ‘Cool the cheesecake gradually in the oven to prevent cracks.’, ‘Prepare the apple topping just before serving for freshness.’]
