Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and sour cream, mixing well.
Add eggs one at a time on low speed to avoid cracks. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gently fold in sliced apples coated in brown sugar and cinnamon into the cheesecake mixture.
Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow to cool completely before drizzling with salted caramel sauce.
