Apple Cheesecake
The ingredients are as follows:
Crust:
1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 stick butter (melted)
½ cup sugar
Filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
1 can (20 oz) apple pie filling
Streusel:
1 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then add melted butter, mixing with a fork. Press into bottom and slightly up sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes to set. In a medium sized bowl beat together cream cheese and sugar. Add vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Make sure you scrape the sides of the bowl with a spoon or spatula to fully incorporate all of the ingredients. Pour half of the batter on top of crust. Cover with can of apple pie filling, then reaming cheesecake batter. Using a fork mix together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then add melted butter. Sprinkle streusel over the top of the cheesecake. Place springform pan on rimmed baking sheet and place in the middle rack of the oven. Bake 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool fully (usually a few hours in the refrigerator) then drizzle with Hershey’s caramel syrup if desired.
