How to Make Apple Butter Cheesecake?

This cheesecake has a few steps, but the steps are pretty easy and it is so worth it.

There are three main parts to this recipe:

• the crust,
• the cheesecake filling and
• the apple filling

To make the crust:

• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, mix until well combined
• Press crumb mixture onto the bottom of prepared 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray, set in the freezer to firm while making cheesecake layer

To make the cheesecake layer:

• In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy
• In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form
• Add cream cheese mixture into beaten heavy cream add vanilla, cinnamon and mix on low speed just to combine
• Divide mixture into 2 equal portions in separate bowls
• Pour the half cheesecake mixture into prepared crust
• Top with dollops of apple butter. Using a knife or offset spatula, swirl the apple butter into the filling
• Spoon the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top of the apple butter

To make Apple filling:

• In a medium saucepan combine sugar, butter, heavy cream, vanilla, and apples and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly or until thickened and no longer watery about 6-8 minutes
• Gently spread over the cheesecake filling
• Set in the fridge to firm
• Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until set
• When the topping is set and cooled run a thin knife around the sides and remove the springform pan sides
• Cut and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired

What Is Apple Butter?

Apple butter is apples, sugar and spices cooked down and then blended together to make a thick jam-like sauce. You can use apple butter as a spread just as you would jam or you can use it as a topping for pancakes, ice cream…

If you love apples and cheesecake, this is an absolute must-make.

You can use whatever your favorite apple is. Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Fuji are great for dessert. I personally use Gala apples because they are a little sweeter. You can also mix apples in your dessert to give it a different flavor.

Everything works really well together and I love how they taste.

I want to wish you all Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have a great day filled with family and good food and this Apple Butter Cheesecake. Enjoy!
