How to Make Apple Crisp Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
In another pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, then add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sauté until the apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Spread the apple mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and the crust is golden.
Let it cool before serving. Enjoy your Apple Crisp Cheesecake!
