I usually am requested to make this for Superbowl gatherings. It is really good and very different from a standard cheesecake. Can't remember where I got this recipe from. Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
2 lbs red delicious apples, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup pecan pieces |
16 ounces cream cheese |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 large eggs |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Combine graham cracker crumbs with the 2 T sugar and 2 T melted butter.
2. Press into a 9 springform pan.
3. In a dutch oven or saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat and add apples, sugar and spices. Simmer until apples are soft but hold their shape. Cool.
4. Mix together praline topping ingredients and set aside.
5. Beat together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat eggs in one at a time. Add cream and be at until thick and creamy.
6. Gently stir in apple mix.
7. Pour into springform pan. Spread praline topping over cheesecake and bake 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until set.
