Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups Washington State Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the sliced Washington State Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and caramelized.
Arrange the caramelized apples over the cheesecake batter in an even layer.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the pie and garnish with additional apple slices or crushed graham crackers, if desired.
