1 tsp 1 cinnamon
- Caramel Sauce:
15 15 unwrapped caramel candies
2 – 3 tbsp 2 – 3 milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the spring form pan in the middle of two large pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. Bring the foil up the sides of the pan. Crimp the pieces together around the pan. Make sure it is tight and secure so no water gets in during the baking process.
- Begin to boil a pot of water.
- Combine graham crackers crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl. Mix well.
- Press graham crackers into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
- While the crust is cooling, beat cream cheese and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs 1 at a time being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after adding each egg. Beat in vanilla extract, heavy cream and sour cream. Continue mixing on medium speed until the mixture is silky and smooth. Pour mixture into cooled crust.
- Combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Mix until apples are coated.
- Make streusel topping by placing butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut butter keep working until mixture becomes crumbly.
- Scatter the apples over the cheesecake. Sprinkle streusel topping over the the top.
- Place cheesecake into a roasting pan. Place in the oven and pour the boiling water into the roasting pan, quickly close the door. Bake for 60 – 70 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. The middle will still be jiggly. Turn off oven, keep oven door closed and allow cheesecake to cool 1 hour in oven. It will finish cooking during this time.
- Remove cheesecake from oven, carefully remove it from the water bath. Remove the aluminum foil, being careful of any water that may have worked its way in.
- Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
- About 30 minutes before ready to eat, heat caramel candies and 2 tablespoons milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until caramel melts. If sauce is too thick, add remaining tablespoon milk. Remove from burner and allow to cool 10 minutes.
- Run a sharp knife under warm water until warm. Slice cake, drizzle with caramel and serve.
