Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes. 
  2. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then mix in vanilla extract. 
  3. Gently fold in whipped cream until combined. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

For extra flavor, drizzle caramel sauce or sprinkle toasted pecans over the apple topping. Cheesecake can be made a day ahead; store covered in the fridge.
