Apple Pie Cheesecake Recipe

American · Dessert · 95 min total

A creamy cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with cinnamon-spiced apple pie filling. This mashup of two classic desserts is perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 32 oz (4 packages) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 large apples (e.g., Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time, beating on low after each. Fold in sour cream.
4. Pour filling over crust. Place springform pan in a larger roasting pan; pour hot water into roasting pan until halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
5. Bake for 55-65 minutes until center is almost set. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. For apple topping: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add apples, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until apples are tender, about 8 minutes.
7. Stir cornstarch slurry into apple mixture; cook 1 minute until thickened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
8. Spread apple topping over chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips

• For a cleaner slice, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Serve with whipped cream or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
