There are chunks of apples in this cheesecake and each and every tester said,
they were so surprised how FANTASTIC it tasted.
There were a dozen testers for this one, and it was unanimous…. it won best dessert all week.
On a week that I made 4 desserts, I’d say that was pretty good. Needless to say some desserts went back to the “drawing board” some just sat there and although they liked them, there was a true LOVE AFFAIR with this one.
I just love when that happens.
True love when you least expect it!
Just like any great movie!
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups chopped peeled apples (2 very large apples) about a ½ inch dice on the apples, perfect bite size pieces for a cake
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2-8oz packages cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

- Crust:
- In small bowl with pastry cutter or fork, mix butter with graham cracker crumbs with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
- Press mixture into springform pan and refrigerate.
- In a saucepan heat apples with butter and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon for 3 minutes on medium-high heat. It will soften them without making them mushy.

- Mix in apple mixture.
- Remove the pan with graham cracker crust from the fridge and pour batter into it.

- Dust with cinnamon on top.
- Chill cheesecake until completely firm (6 hours)

I haven’t frozen it, I’m sure it would taste fine if you did choose to freeze it.

Thank you for this lovely recipe! I made it yesterday for my 25th birthday party (I wanted something light that also felt like autumn, so this caught my eye) and it was a great success! Really easy for me to make ahead of time and so, so delicious. This might be the only dessert I’ve made that’s been universally liked – by my picky nieces and nephews and my grandparents alike. I think this will be my go-to dessert from now on!

Happy Birthday! So happy to hear everyone liked it, it really is a favorite around here too and I love how easy it is!
