Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples along with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, cooking for 8-10 minutes until tender.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Drizzle in ½ cup of melted unsalted butter and pulse until crumbly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add ¾ cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Add the cooled apple filling on top, spreading it gently. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the apples.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Carefully place the assembled cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  6. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar. Transfer the Apple Crumble Cheesecake to the fridge and let it chill for a minimum of 5 hours.
  7. When ready to serve, slice the chilled cheesecake and drizzle each slice with warm caramel sauce.
