Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups caramel sauce
• 1 cups whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed after each addition just until combined. Pour this cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, toss the apple slices with the ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Arrange the cinnamon-coated apple slices evenly over the cheesecake filling.

Step 6

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Step 7

Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.

Step 8

Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the cheesecake and, if desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy this velvety caramel apple cheesecake!
