Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed (for caramel sauce)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for salted caramel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar while mixing until fully incorporated. Then add eggs one at a time on low speed.
  3. Pour your creamy filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top. Place your springform pan inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water halfway up its sides. Bake for about 55-65 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
  4. After baking, turn off your oven but leave the door ajar while letting your cheesecake cool inside for about an hour. Chill it in the fridge for at least four hours—or overnight if you can wait!
  5. While your cheesecake chills, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in your diced apples along with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook them until they're soft and syrupy.
  6. For the salted caramel, melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat while stirring constantly until it turns deep amber. Carefully mix in cubed butter before slowly whisking in heavy cream. Let this simmer briefly before adding sea salt.
  7. When you're ready to serve, top chilled cheesecake with cooked apple mixture first, then drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
