Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
16 oz softened cream cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar; press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.
Toss sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Layer half of the cheesecake filling over the crust followed by half of the apple mixture. Repeat with remaining filling and apples.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream or extra cinnamon.
