Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until incorporated. Add sour cream and eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- Toss sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Let sit to release juices while preparing the cheesecake batter.
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan, layer half of the spiced apples on top, then add the remaining cheesecake mixture followed by another layer of apples.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center and golden around the edges. Let cool at room temperature for an hour before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
