  • 1/8 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 10 TBSP Unsalted butter (melted)

Apple Cider Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 TBSP Melted butter
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 2 cups Apple cider (reduced down to 1/2 cup)
  • 24 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream (room temperature)

  • 4 Large eggs (room temperature)

Topping:

  • 1 TBSP Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 TBSP Apple cider
  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Apple Cider: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the apple cider. Cook the apple cider until it reduces down to 1/2 cup. This will take 10-15 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat the oven to 325℉. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with baking nonstick spray. Line the bottom with a 9-inch parchment paper circle and spray again. Using a food processor, blend the graham crackers into a fine crumb. In a small bowl, mix the crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press the crumbs into the pan, halfway up the sides. Bake for 12 minutes.
  3. Apple Cider Cinnamon Filling: Mix the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, apple cider, and melted butter in a small bowl. Chill in the fridge.
  4. Apple Cider Cheesecake: Beat cream cheese and sugar, then add apple cider, sour cream, vanilla, and eggs. Pour batter over crust, sprinkle chilled filling on top, and swirl with a knife. Bake for 70-80 minutes. Cool, then chill for at least 6 hours.
  5. Topping: Mix melted butter and apple cider. In another bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Brush butter over chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Use a water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • The cheesecake is done when the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
